The Gellions pub in Inverness closes for a deep clean after member of staff tests positive for coronavirus and it is expected to reopen as normal today

The oldest pub in Inverness closed its doors for a deep clean after one of its members of staff tested positive for Covid-19.

The Gellions, in High Street, shared the news through social media yesterday and it was expected to reopen as normal today.

The post read: "We have been made aware that one of our staff has just tested positive for Covid. Fortunately they have not worked in The Gellions this week, are now of course self isolating at home, and thankfully appear to be doing well.

"We have not had any calls from NHS test and protect re contacts, so we do not believe there is any cause for concern.

"Out of an abundance of caution and as per EHO advice we have closed early to deep clean the building and will be reopening tomorrow as normal."
