A Michelin-starred Belfast restaurant has been closed after a staff member tested positive for Covid-19.
The Muddlers Club in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter closed on Saturday for an "unspecified amount of time" after a staff member tested positive for coronavirus.
The restaurant posted the news on their Facebook page yesterday afternoon and thanked customers for their support.
The post read: "We regret to inform you that we will be closing today for an unspecified amount of time as a member of our team has tested positive for Covid-19.
"The particular staff member was only working on Wednesday evening this week and we believe that the cause is from a source outside of the restaurant environment and has been contracted post Wednesday.
"Although as a precaution we have taken the responsible decision to close whilst our staff are put through the testing process."
"Please note that we have and will continue to uphold the highest standards of safe practice following the government guidelines laid down during the current circumstances," it added.
"It is our great hope that tests will return negative and we will be carrying out our regular thorough deep clean before we make the decision to reopen.
"For any further updates please keep an eye on our social media pages.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued support and we hope to welcome you back very soon."
"Keep safe and look out for one another."
