For the remainder of this week, “The Daily” is revisiting episodes with people we met in the early weeks of the coronavirus pandemic to hear what has happened to them since our original conversations were aired.
One of the largest coronavirus outbreaks in the United States was inside the Smithfield pork factory in Sioux Falls, S.D.
