The justice centre was closed briefly on Monday morning, but was later reopened.

A Ministry of Justice spokesman told the Shropshire Star: "The court is open. This morning it had to undergo what was essentially a deep clean across the whole building.

"It was reopened at 2pm.

"There was a small number of positive coronavirus tests and the people involved were identified and that prompted a closure of the court. There was no disruption caused."
