ASDA has responded to rumours regarding coronavirus cases at the Penryn store.

Speaking to Nub News this afternoon a spokesperson for the company stated that the rumours were infact false.

The response was following up to rumours that there had been an outbreak at the store on Jennings Road.

A spokesperson for ASDA told Nub News:

"We would never comment on individual colleague circumstances, but the safety of both our colleagues and customers has been our key priority throughout the pandemic.

"This is why we have extensive measures in place such as protective screens, social distancing signage and numerous hand sanitiser stations across all our stores.

"Should a colleague start suffering from symptoms we are asking them to immediately self-isolate and get a test. In the event of a positive test result, the track and trace system will then be used to find if anyone else who could have come into contact with the colleague.

"Anybody identified through this process must then self-isolate and get a test."

"Our customers can rest assured that we continue to follow government guidance by asking any colleagues with coronavirus symptoms to immediately self-isolate and are supporting them by providing full pay during the isolation period," they added.
