Brewhemia in Edinburgh has been forced to temporarily close its doors after a staff member tested positive for coronavirus.
The Market Street venue has confirmed that all bookings are being cancelled, and the bar will close until Monday, June 7. This is to allow for a deep clean to take place, and also to give other staff members time to get tested should they develop symptoms.
They say customers who have visited in recent days won't be contacted at present as track and trace data has not been asked for, however details will be provided to Test and Protect should it be required.
In a social media post, bosses at the venue said: "We have been informed today that a staff member has tested positive for Covid-19, as we are sure you will all appreciate this is a shock to the team who are concerned for their colleague.
