An Indian restaurant in Wedmore has had to temporarily close after a member of staff tested positive for coronavirus.

Table Eight has closed with immediate effect so the other employees can be tested for Covid-19 and a deep-clean of the restaurant and kitchen area is carried out.

Posting on social media, the restaurant said that it will be closed for 14 days and is talking with the government to make sure the correct procedures are followed.

The post said: "We suggest if you have visited our takeaway and been in close contact with any of our staff, which we are sure would be few as we have had 90 per cent of our customers following the guidelines, then we advise you to get yourself tested and self isolate for the recommended 14 days.

"We are sorry we have had to post this but we are letting you know as soon as we know. We will be closed for 14 days and will keep everyone updated."
