“We have a number of safety measures in place to help keep our people safe, including perspex screens, temperature checks at the start of each shift, maintaining a 2-metre distance from others as much as possible, face coverings, regular hand washing and the use of hand sanitiser.”
A spokesperson for Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council stated: “The Public Health Agency are the lead organisation in the investigation of Covid-19 cases and it would be inappropriate for council to comment.
“Council staff continue to support the PHA in this role and support businesses achieve compliance with the regulations relating to social distancing requirements.”
