An historic town pub is closed until further notice after its manager tested positive for Covid-19.

The Black Boy in Bridgnorth is closed, and manager Ryan Mushing said on social media: "The pub has closed today after I have tested positive for Covid-19. The staff are now all being tested and we will remain closed until further notice.

"I have uploaded my test results to track and trace and they will be in contact with the relevant people, but if you’ve been in on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday and have any symptoms please get yourself tested.

"Thank you to everyone for all your support. We will open again when it’s safe to do so and the pub has had a full clean down."
