A total of 15 postal workers in Harrogate are self-isolating following a positive covid test from a member of staff at Royal Mail's delivery office on Claro Road.

The company said any disruption caused to the regular postal service "has been kept to a minimum" due to the flexibility of remaining staff members.

Following the positive case, the company undertook a deep clean of the site.

A Royal Mail spokesperson said:

“There is currently one colleague who has tested positive for coronavirus at Harrogate delivery office. We wish them a speedy recovery. Some colleagues are also self-isolating due to the test and trace app.
"We have carried out an intensive clean of the site and have organised additional cleaning of key touch points and all communal areas.
"We are keeping the CWU, PHE and colleagues updated. Any disruption to deliveries as a result of the absences, has been kept to a minimum through the dedication and flexibility of the delivery postmen and women who remain at work."
