An M&S worker is understood to have spent more than a week in hospital after a Covid-19 outbreak.
The member of staff, who works at the department store in Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street, is said to have been rushed to hospital on October 14.
The 50-year-old is from the east end of Glasgow.
Loved ones are believed to have been told she was being moved into intensive care last night if her condition did not improve.
The source said: “Families are going through hell with this.
“It was spreading through the store from about two weeks ago.”
We revealed earlier that the outbreak is believed to have resulted in about 20 members of staff testing positive for coronavirus.
An M&S spokeswoman said: “Everyone at M&S Sauchiehall Street is thinking of our colleague right now, and we all wish her a very speedy recovery.
“The health and wellbeing of our colleagues and customers always comes first and we have enhanced cleaning procedures and measures in place across all M&S stores to help ensure social distancing.
"In addition, all M&S colleagues are required to wear a face covering whilst working in store unless they are exempt, in line with Scottish Government regulations.
“Any colleague that has symptoms of Covid-19, tests positive for Covid-19, or who has been in close contact with someone who tests positive, is supported to self-isolate straight away on full pay.
“As well as working with NHS Test and Protect, we also have our own robust contact tracing system to ensure that we reach all relevant colleagues.
"We also carry out a deep clean of the store as a precaution.
“We are confident that the Sauchiehall Street M&S store is following all proper procedures and is fully in line with Scottish Government regulations.”
