SUPERMARKET in Weymouth has confirmed a 'small number' of staff are self-isolating due to coronavirus symptoms.

The store confirmed some staff were isolating, and said there were strict Covid measures in place.

A spokeswoman from Sainsbury's said: "It’s a very small number [of people self-isolating].

"We have strict safety measures in place in all our stores, including additional cleaning and social distancing measures, as well as hand sanitiser stations, Perspex screens and PPE for all our colleagues.

"We continue to support Test and Trace and remain in close contact with them.

"All customers must wear a mask unless they are exempt.

"Our colleagues and trained security guards will challenge customers who aren’t wearing face coverings or are shopping in group.

"Safety is our highest priority and we need all our customers to play their part."
