A pub has closed after a staff member tested positive for coronavirus following a Greater Manchester trip. The Gerard Arms in Dentons Lane, St Helens, closed immediately after the positive test result came though.
As the venue undergoes a deep clean, all other staff members will also now be tested for the virus. The staff member understands that the staff member involved was not displaying any coronavirus symptoms, but decided to get a test because they had recently returned from the Greater Manchester area, reports the Liverpool Echo.
All 10 boroughs of Greater Manchester are now under strict new lockdown measures after a major incident was declared across the conurbation because of rapidly rising covid-19 cases.
