Number of Northampton supermarket staff test positive for coronavirus
'We continue to follow robust procedures to ensure it's safe for colleagues and customers,' says store
Supermarket bosses are reassuring customers that a Morrisons store in Northampton is still safe to shop at following positive coronavirus cases on site.
It comes as a "very small number" of staff at the Kettering Road store have tested positive for COVID-19, bosses have confirmed to this newspaper.
It is understood that the number of cases is in single digits.
A spokeswoman for Morrisons told the Chronicle & Echo: "A very small number of colleagues in our Kettering Road store have tested positive for coronavirus and we wish them a speedy recovery.
"We continue to follow robust procedures to ensure it's safe for colleagues and customers."
A shopper told this newspaper that after entering the store on Tuesday (December 29) there was a number of empty shelves, which is believed to be a result of a staff shortage.
