Sheffield pub shuts for 10 days following positive Covid test among staff just before Freedom Day

A Sheffield neighbourhood pub will be shut for the next 10 days after staff tested positive for Covid.

The White Lion in Heeley announced yesterday (July 13) it would close its doors until the 22nd to conduct a deep clean.

“Unfortunately a proportion of our staff have contracted Covid,” the pub’s team wrote on it’s Facebook page.

“We have been compliance heavy so it just shows that its definitely out there and an ongoing concern for all, please keep safe.
