Primark confirms Nottingham store employee has tested positive for Covid-19

High street retailer Primark has confirmed a staff member at its Nottingham store has tested positive for coronavirus.

The company said it has "detailed contingency plans in place" in case a staff member tests positive, and it has "followed all required measures to protect the safety of all our colleagues and customers".

The store, in Long Row, was closed in March due to the national lockdown.

Large queues were pictured outside the store when it reopened when lockdown restrictions were eased in June.

The company confirmed news of the positive test among its staff in a statement to Nottinghamshire Live.

A spokesperson for Primark said: "We can confirm that an employee at our Nottingham store has tested positive for Covid-19.

"Nothing is more important than the safety and wellbeing of our customers and employees, and we have detailed contingency plans in place in case one of our employees tests positive.

"In line with these plans, we have informed the public health authorities and we have followed all required measures to protect the safety of all our colleagues and customers."
