The Star Lounge in Rawmarsh said the customer who tested positive had visited the pub last weekend. It will now shut for three days to allow for cleaning.

A post on the pub’s Facebook page read: “We have used the track and trace system to contact everyone we can, however, if you haven’t received a message we would advise to get tested as a precaution.”
