Broxden businesses affected after staff test positive for COVID-19

A number of hospitality businesses at Broxden in Perth have been affected by staff getting COVID-19.

The Costa Coffee outlet was due to reopen yesterday (July 1) after a deep clean following one case of a staff member falling sick earlier in the week.

A Costa Coffee spokesperson said: “Our Costa Coffee store at Broxden Services in Perth is currently closed due to a positive case of COVID-19 relating to the store.

“In line with our policy the store has been closed for a deep clean and those team members impacted are now self-isolating.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers and hope to re-open the store on Thursday, July 1.

Meanwhile the PA was told of a number of McDonalds staff at Broxden getting positive tests, but in this case, the burger outlet did not stop serving.

A McDonald’s spokesperson said: “Four employees at our Broxden restaurant have tested positive for COVID-19 and are self-isolating.

“As soon as we were informed, the restaurant was given an enhanced clean as a precaution. We have contacted all restaurant employees, as well as Public Health Scotland.

“We have a number of safety measures in place to help keep our people safe, including screens, temperature checks at the start of each shift, maintaining a two metre distance from others as much as possible, face coverings, regular hand washing and the use of hand sanitiser.”
