A RESTAURANT has been ordered to temporarily close after receiving a fine for breaching coronavirus restrictions on Friday.
Wigton's Shuhag restaurant was issued with a fixed penalty notice for breaching Covid-19 regulations on Friday, however, after a follow-up visit by public health officials and Cumbria Police on Tuesday, it has been ordered to close.
Anyone who visited the restaurant between November 9 and November 18 is being urged by Cumbria County Council’s public health team to get a test, even if they do not have coronavirus symptoms.
Tests should be booked as soon as possible at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119. Home test kits can also be ordered by people who cannot get to a test site.
Colin Cox, Cumbria's Director of Public Health, said: "We need everyone to play their part in stopping the spread of coronavirus. We're all this together, so if you have symptoms of coronavirus please self-isolate and get a test. If you have been contacted by contact tracers or have been asked to get a test, please follow the advice."
