Coronavirus: Three staff test positive at Wrexham Wetherspoon

The pub, on Wrexham high street, was opened as a bank in 1905 and was a branch of Midland Bank and HSBC before it closed

Three staff have tested positive for coronavirus at a Wetherspoon pub on a high street in a Welsh town.

Staff from the North and South Wales Bank in Wrexham had tested positive, said Eddie Gershon from JD Wetherspoon.

He said a number of other staff who work at the pub - a former bank - are now self-isolating.

Mr Gershon added the pub had spoken to Public Health Wales and does not need to take any further action.

• Wrexham has highest weekly number of Covid deaths

• Hundreds caught coronavirus in hospitals

• Figuring out the stats on coronavirus in Wales

• Pubs ignoring Covid rules could be forced to shut

Dr Graham Brown, from Public Health Wales, said: "Public Health Wales is working with Wrexham council to investigate a small number of cases of coronavirus associated with the North and South Wales Bank pub in Wrexham.

"The identification of these cases is evidence that the Test, Trace, Protect strategy is working, and no outbreak has been declared."
