A member of staff at the popular German-themed city bar Bierkeller has tested positive for coronavirus.
On Sunday evening (September 27) staff made the decision to close the Friar Lane venue, which was due to host a private event.
A statement published on Bierkeller's Facebook page the following day clarified the situation.
"Due to one member of staff being unwell and self-isolating, they subsequently tested positive for Covid-19," it read.
"As a precaution, we contacted all staff who have been working in proximity over a prolonged period of time, as described in the NHS guidelines - with advice to get tested, self-isolate and not to return to work until fit to do so with a negative test result.
"We felt that, with a reduced number of staff on Sunday evening, we would not be able to effectively run this event in the safe manner we normally produce on a daily basis.
"Whilst closed on Sunday evening we used that time to conduct additional cleaning and sanitising regardless of our daily cleaning and on-going sanitising procedures being robust.
"We have opened as normal today and will continue to do so this week, holding private events in the evenings as planned."
It comes after a member of staff at cocktail bar Coco Tang, in Bridlesmith Gate, tested positive for the virus.
