Dr Simon Padfield from Public Health England told the 'Advertiser: “We are aware of reports of illness associated with Harrogate Wetherspoons, and are working with the local authority to investigate, as is standard with reports of this kind.”
Wetherspoons spokesperson Eddie Gershon said: “Staff members reported symptoms that are consistent with norovirus. The cause of the infection is not yet known but there’s no indication that it is food related. The closure of the pub and thorough clean down is a precautionary measure as advised by local authorities and Public Health England.”
