Andover Leisure Centre has been evacuated.
We attended the Leisure Centre at 1:00pm today as customers were being asked to leave. We understand that someone briefly attended the centre yesterday who has since tested positive for coronavirus.
We believe that person was collecting a Centre user, rather than using the centre themselves.
We are awaiting to hear from Centre management, but this is a precaution.
Andover Leisure Centre have acted on the advice of Public Health England and the Centre will be undergoing a deep clean over the next 24 hours.
Please note the sensible advice regarding coronavirus on the government website: https://www.gov.uk/…/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-t…
If you have concerns or need further information, please contact NHS 111.
