Newtownabbey bar to reopen following ‘precautionary’ deep clean

Yesterday (Monday), management at the Bellevue Arms stated they took the “precautionary” decision after they were made aware of the positive diagnosis.

For more on Monday’s announcement, read here.

Providing an update on social media, a spokesperson for the business said: “We couldn’t be more thankful to the guys at Keep ‘Er’ Sanitised who were on site within hours to ensure every corner of the building was thoroughly sanitised.

“We would just like to reiterate, the decision to close for 24 hours was purely precautionary to ensure the safety of our staff and customers.

“We were not forced to close by the Public Health Agency, nor were we advised by any other governmental body to do so.

“We will re-open at 4pm. We can’t wait to welcome you all back to The Bellevue!”

The eatery is taking part in the Government’s ‘Eat out to help out’ scheme.
