Temporary closure for community cafe
A north-east community cafe which only opened its doors to the public at the start of November has put a temporary closure in place following a customer testing positive for Covid-19.
A spokeswoman for Cafe48 which is based at the former Linsmhor hotel in Pitmedden explained: "On the advise of Track and Trace we have made the decision to close Cafe48 until December 1 at the earliest.
"The reason for this is that although there have been no recorded Covid-19 cases in the cafe we have been notified that we’ve had a positive Covid-19 case in the building.
"In situations like this we must err on the side of caution and follow the guidance so that we don’t put anyone at risk.
"Rest assured we will also ensure all areas will be sanitised prior to our reopening."
