Two staff members at the Galgorm Spa and Golf Resort have tested positive for COVID-19, according to media reports.
A spokesperson for Galgorm said that ‘following its own robust testing procedures’, two asymptomatic team members who tested positive last Thursday have been ‘self-isolating at home, in line with company policy.’
The staff members are understood to be back-of-house employees who have had no contact with guests.
