A number of workers tested positive for Covid-19 at the factory in Penrith, and the building was closed on Friday.

The premises have been deep-cleaned, and other staff have been tested to ensure there isn't a spread of the virus.

A spokesperson from Greggs said: "Some of our colleagues at our North Lakes factory in Penrith have test positive for COVID-19 and are now self-isolating.

"We have robust COVID-secure measures and have temporarily closed the site for deep cleaning. 

"We are working closely with the relevant authorities to minimise any possible impact to the wider community.”
