Paddy Power will see 150 of their shops reopen on Monday 15 June, with the plan to reopen more as the current situation develops.

The bookies have encouraged its customers to limit the time spent in the shop, to be courteous and respectful to the staff, and to isolate and stay home if you have symptoms or feel unwell.

Paddy Power said: "While our shops were closed we offered to credit your winning in-store slips online and hundreds of you took this up, ensuring Paddy was still paying out – even when the sport stopped! If you’ve still got a winner lying around, email a picture of the slip, along with your name, online username and a contact number to shopwinnings@paddypower.com."

We have taken all the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of our staff as well as our customers is paramount.
