Coronavirus Shuts Newport's Halfords For Second Time

For the second time in three months, Halfords in Newport is shut after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19.

A deep clean is underway at the TownGate Retail Park branch.

A spokesperson for the motoring retailer told Isle of Wight Radio:

“We can confirm that a colleague from our Newport store has tested positive for Covid-19.

"As a precautionary measure, we have temporarily closed the store for a deep clean as soon as we became aware of their result and the store will reopen once it is completed. 

"We are also implementing the correct test and trace procedures and will continue to follow Government guidelines."

The store was also forced to shut in August after a staff member tested positive for the illness.
