All McDonald's in Peru closed for 2 days after the deaths of 2 teen workers
The on-the-job deaths are raising labor safety concerns in the nation.
By   Catherine Thorbecke   December 18, 2019

 All McDonald's restaurants in Peru temporarily shuttered this week as part of "two days of mourning" following the deaths of two young employees at a Lima restaurant.

McDonald's Peru, which is operated by Arcos Dorados, announced the deaths of the two workers, Carlos Gabriel Edgardo Campos Zapata and Alexandra Antonella Porras Inga, in a statement Monday.

"We want to announce that we have declared two days of mourning since this morning, so all of our restaurants will remain closed in the entire country without affecting the compensation for our colleagues," the statement said.

From the OP article:

The two workers were teenagers and died after being electrocuted while cleaning the kitchen during the overnight shift on Sunday, the national Peruvian newspaper La Republica reported.

I don't know how that kitchen was constructed/organized but the M cooking areas I've seen use special IEC-309 power connectors: color-coded according to what is being powered; some degree of water-tightness (different IEC-309 connectors can be drip-proof, spray-proof, or, IIRC, immersible to some very moderate depth). I'm going to wildly guess that something in that kitchen was wired incorrectly.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

McDonald's Peru operator shuts restaurants for inspection after employee deaths
Marco Aquino, Cassandra Garrison

LIMA (Reuters) - All 29 McDonald’s Peru locations will remain closed until its local operator Arcos Dorados (Golden Arches) Holdings Inc completes inspections following the deaths of two teenaged employees at the weekend, the franchisor said in a statement on Wednesday.

Arcos Dorados, which owns and operates McDonald’s restaurants throughout Latin America, said it started conducting the safety inspections on Wednesday following a two-day mourning period.

The inspections could take a matter of “hours or days,” a spokesman for Arcos Dorados told Reuters.
