Unalaska’s largest fish processing plant reopened Monday after a COVID-19 outbreak forced it to shut down for almost a month, according to APM.

UniSea closed its doors Jan. 5 after a handful of workers tested positive for the virus following a New Year’s gathering in company housing. Since then, 66 of UniSea’s more than 900 workers tested positive for the virus, according to UniSea President Tom Enlow. Seventeen of those were during their two-week entry quarantine, and 49 were non-travel related cases, he said.

The reopening is a bright spot for the Bering Sea fishing industry, which has been hampered by COVID-19 outbreaks at multiple boats and onshore plants.

UniSea’s processing plant has a year-round workforce, and its facility handles multiple species, from cod to crab.
