Three Black Country pubs close due to staff self-isolating
Three Dudley pubs have temporarily closed due to staff testing positive for coronavirus or having to self-isolate.
Management teams at both the Rose and Crown in Brierley Hill and The Fellows on The Broadway, have been asked to self-isolate, so they have shut their doors for 14 days and 10 days respectively.
Holdens Brewery tweeted saying: "Unfortunately our management teams at two of our pubs have been requested to self isolate so Rose & Crown 14 days closed. And The Fellows 10 days closed.
"Both pubs will be deep cleaned and ready to open after the isolation period."
More Covid-19 coverage:
Meanwhile The Red Lion in Amblecote will be closed until Thursday after one of the back-of-house team tested positive.
A post on their Facebook page says: "Sadly one of our back-of-house team has tested positive for Covid-19.
"We have not been contacted by track and trace or by public health. As this is an isolated case we do not need to take further action other than the standard security measures we already have in place.
"However for added safety and security of our team and customers we have decided to close for two days (27th and 28th October) to carry out a thorough deep clean. We will be back open on Thursday 29th October.
"The team member that has tested positive has not been in close contact with any of our customers and so no risk is present to customers that have visited us recently.
"Unfortunately some of our fellow team members have been in contact with the positive team member and so are having to isolate.
"This may cause some disruption to our opening hours and food service times over the next two weeks as our team force has been reduced dramatically. Please bare with us during this difficult time and we will try to keep you all updated as often and as soon as possible."
