A Giffnock restaurant has been forced to close after a positive case of coronavirus was linked back to the business.
Ca Va Brasserie, in East Renfrewshire, told customers they are currently closed and are undergoing a deep clean following a “Covid-19 incident”.
Bosses are in talks with health and council officials while Test and Protect procedures have been put in place to contact customers who may have been exposed.
A statement from Ca Va Brasserie said: “We have taken the decision today to close Ca-Va for a period of time that will be governed by the Public Health Protection Unit GGC.
“Along with the department, we are currently investigating a Covid-19 incident and we are working closely with Health and Environmental Health colleagues at NHS.
“Today, MASA environmental will be doing an ultra-low volume fogging sterilising process, which will eliminate all possible traces of Covid-19.
“We know many of our customers will be anxious for information and we will update all customers on our website and social media in due course as the government information is released to us.
“We are advised that the Test and Protect Services are ascertaining all guests potentially at risk and that we ask that you allow them the time to collect and process the relevant information required.
“Thank you once again for your support during these difficult times.”
The latest development follows an announcement from Nicola Sturgeon that 65 new cases of the bug have been found overnight.
Nine were detected in the Greater Glasgow and Clyde area, 10 in Lanarkshire, 28 in the Grampian area and two more in Orkney.
NHSGGC’s Dr Gillian Penrice who chaired the PAG said: “All relevant Public Health measures are in place and myself and our Public Health Team are working with the restaurant to manage and monitor the situation.
“We would ask customers who have been in the restaurant from mid-afternoon onwards on Sunday (9), Monday (10) or Tuesday (11) should be aware of the symptoms of a fever, persistent cough or loss of taste or smell. If concerned they need to self-isolate immediately and book a test for Covid-19.”
