Coronavirus: Studland restaurant able to reopen after positive test
A seafood restaurant has been able to reopen after a staff member tested positive for Covid-19.
Shell Bay on Ferry Road in Studland, Dorset, closed temporarily on Wednesday. The restaurant has since undergone a deep clean and no other staff have tested positive, bosses said. The statement added the thorough clean on Thursday had provided "full knowledge" it was "absolutely safe" to reopen on Friday. Under current measures pubs, cafes and restaurants must collect and keep customer details for 21 days. People who have been in close contact with someone found to have Covid-19 are being traced and asked to self-isolate for a fortnight. Shell Bay previously said staff would contact customers to rearrange bookings. On Friday, the latest number of cases of Covid-19 in Dorset was 1,484 - an increase of nine since Wednesday - which is when the last set of figures were released.
