A popular Llanidloes pub has reopened after one of its staff members tested positive for coronavirus.

The Red Lion Hotel, Longbridge Street temporarily closed this week while a deep clean was carried out in the building. 

The pub apologised for any inconvenience caused.

In a statement posted on social media, the pub said: "We have had the green light from the Environmental Health to open the bar. The kitchen will remain closed for today (Wednesday).

"Obviously we now have a shortage of staff so please give those that are working your support and encouragement as they will be working a lot to make up for the shortfall."

The Red Lion Hotel will be open between 11am to midnight from Thursday to Sunday and will be subject to change next week.
