A Barrow post office has temporarily closed its doors.

On Sunday the Roose Post Office postmistress confirmed that there had been a positive test result among staff.

She said: "We have had a member of staff test positive for Covid. The NHS track and trace have asked me to isolate for ten days also as her employer.

"Unfortunately this leaves nobody to run the business so we have no choice but to close.

"We hope to see you all in 10 days. We appreciate your custom and hope you all stay safe and well."
