A SOUTH Cumbria food shop and farmer's market has shut temporarily owing to one of its employees testing positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Brown's Farm Shop in Lindal announced earlier today that one of its staff members had tested positive for the virus.

Consequently, the owners announced they would close the site tomorrow.

Brown's confirmed that all staff members had been tested for COVID-19 and that the shop space would be deep cleaned.

The owners told customers they would issue an update tomorrow regarding arrangements for the weekend.
