A hotel in East Cork closed after a staff member tested positive for Covid 19.
Garryvoe Hotel confirmed the closure in a Facebook post.
“Unfortunately, a member of our team tested positive for Covid-19. As a precautionary measure and in the interest of the safety of our staff and guests, we have made the decision to close the hotel starting tomorrow, Friday, October 9 for a period of time.”
The hotel owners have spoken of their hope of reopening as soon as possible.
“We are a team here at Garryvoe and we have always cared for and supported each other in whatever way we can, we have stuck together and we will now. We will be back online very soon, so don’t worry, we will all be together sooner rather than later.
To our guests: We would also like to thank you for your support, understanding and patience at this time. The HSE will instruct us to follow all the necessary protocols.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we look forward to welcoming you back to East Cork & the Garryvoe Hotel very soon. “
The hotel reservations team will continue to work in the coming days.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, a pub in Midleton in Co Cork also closed following the detection of a confirmed case of Covid-19 in a staff member.
Niall Mac’s pub in town issued a statement on Facebook:
“Unfortunately a staff member tested positive for Covid-19. We received confirmation from the HSE last night. We are working with the ‘HSE contact tracing’ team and all staff members are being tested.
While no customer is identified as a close contact, we advise anyone who has visited the pub from Friday, October 2 to Monday, October 5 to watch out for any symptoms and contact their GP if they have any concerns.
We will be in contact with our customers who attended the pub these days, who are not on Facebook.
We have decided not to open under level 3 restrictions and the pub will undergo extreme deep cleaning before reopening at the end of the month. “
