Emergency workers were pictured wearing protective clothing inside the nail salon.

A paramedic has told Bristol Live the clothing is what's worn when a patient “requires an aerosol-generating procedure, such as cardiac arrest.”

Just after 1pm, the ambulance service gave an update on the situation.
