A Glasgow cocktail bar has been forced to close temporarily after a staff member tested positive for coronavirus. 

The Spiritualist confirmed the employee had not been on the premises since September 5. 

The man did not display any symptoms last weekend, the bar confirmed. 

Other staff members are self-isolating for the duration of the incubation period. 

The Miller Street bar will undergo a deep clean while its doors remain shut.

A statement from The Spiritualist reads: "We have implemented all Government health and hygiene guidelines and are working with the relevant public health experts and with the trace and protect programme to allow them to trace anyone who may be a close contact.

"The individual in question is feeling physically fine and our staff are now isolating at home until the incubation period has passed and we wish them all the best during what must be a rather worrying time for all concerned.

"As a precautionary decision, we are temporarily closed. This will allow for a specialist deep cleaning and fogging to take place.

"We would like to take this opportunity to emphasise that the health of our staff and customers is our number one priority and when the doors reopen, we will continue to take all necessary measures to continue to operate a safe and responsible business."
