A pub in Crawley has closed after two members of staff tested positive for Covid-19.
The Downsman pub in Wakehurst Drive, Southgate, posted on social media on Sunday (19) to announce that it would be closing its doors temporarily.
Staff said the tests were taken as a precaution, and the pair were showing little to no symptoms.
They haven't been at the premises since 'early last week', according the pub.
A deep clean will be carried out and they expect to be back open soon.
The following message was posted to the Downsman's Facebook page:
"We have taken the decision to temporarily close The Downsman after two members of our team tested positive for COVID-19 this afternoon.
"The staff members took tests as a precaution despite showing little to no signs of symptoms, and have not been on the premises since early last week and are now self isolating.
"We have been in contact with Public Health England to make them aware of the situation and as a result we have chosen to close briefly to carry out a further deep clean of the pub as a precaution for the safety of our customers.
"We have followed all of the required steps at this stage and the details of customers who have visited us have been made available to the NHS Test and Trace team.
"We expect to be back open again very soon once we are assured that it is safe to do so.
"Thank you all for your understanding at this time and we hope to see you soon."
