Basingstoke B&Q back open after staff member tests positive for Covid
Basingstoke's B&Q store reopened yesterday afternoon after a member of staff tested positive for coronavirus.
As previously reported, the hardware store was temporarily closed on Saturday.
The Lister Road branch underwent a deep clean following the news that an employee had caught the virus.
A B&Q spokesperson said yesterday: "We can confirm that our Basingstoke store is temporarily closed following a team member receiving a positive (Covid 19) test result.
"Closing the store for deep cleaning is a precautionary measure and goes beyond government advice. We expect to be open again this afternoon."
