A bar in Leith has been forced to close after a customer tested positive for coronavirus it has been confirmed.
Owner of Victoria Bar, Anna Lagerqvist Christopherson told Edinburgh Live they had to close their doors after a customer told them that he had Covid-19.
The customer had recently returned from a holiday in Malta, where it is believed he may have picked up the virus.
Only a handful of customers were in the building at the same time he was and he is said to have not visited any other pubs or restaurants.
Anna told Edinburgh Live: "I made the decision to close the bar.
"We found out at midnight last night that there had someone with a case at the bar on Friday afternoon.
"The bar was quiet and the person had been to Malta where it's suspected they contracted the virus."
"Now we have just decided to self-isolate - there were only four people working in there."
She added: "We are waiting to be contacted by NHS Trace and Protect.
"The man was in the bar between 4.45pm and 6pm and said he didn't go anywhere else."
