KFC closes branch after six staff test positive for coronavirus

A branch of KFC has been closed after six staff members tested positive for coronavirus.

The KFC on Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, has been shut for two weeks as a precaution, the company said.

The affected staff members are self-isolating at home and the firm has alerted NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

Glasgow City Council was one of three areas where restrictions on home visits were re-introduced on Wednesday following an increase in Covid-19 cases.

The temporary measure extends to West Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire and is for an initial period of two weeks, with a review due this week.

A KFC spokesman said: “Six team members at our Pollokshaws restaurant have tested positive for coronavirus.

“They’re currently self-isolating at home, in line with government guidance – and it goes without saying we’re wishing them a full and speedy recovery.

“We’ve been in close contact with Public Health Protection Unit from NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and we’ve taken the decision to close the restaurant for two weeks as a precaution.

“We’re doing all we can to support our teams at this time and continue to work closely with local authorities to make sure we re-open our restaurant only when it’s safe for both guests and team members.”
