A PUB has closed after a staff member tested positive for Covid-19.

The New Inn, Wilsden, shared the news on its Facebook page and said the pub would be closed "until further notice".

A statement said: "A deep clean of the premises is being organised and we will follow the government and NHS guidance to the letter to ensure your safety once it is safe to return.

"The Track & Trace system we have in place means people have been contacted and we trust them to take the necessary action required.

"This is another stark reminder for the village of Wilsden of the perils of this virus.

"Please, please follow the NHS advice: wash your hands, wear a mask, keep a safe distance from others.

"An update on when we will be safely reopening will be posted soon."
