A BRANCH of KFC has been closed after six staff members tested positive for coronavirus.
The KFC on Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, has been shut for two weeks as a precaution, the company said.
The affected staff members are self-isolating at home and the firm has alerted NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.
Glasgow City Council was one of three areas where restrictions on home visits were re-introduced on Wednesday following an increase in Covid-19 cases.
The temporary measure extends to West Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire and is for an initial period of two weeks, with a review due this week.

A KFC spokesman said: "Six team members at our Pollokshaws restaurant have tested positive for coronavirus.
"They're currently self-isolating at home, in line with government guidance - and it goes without saying we're wishing them a full and speedy recovery.
"We've been in close contact with Public Health Protection Unit from NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde and we've taken the decision to close the restaurant for two weeks as a precaution.
"We're doing all we can to support our teams at this time and continue to work closely with local authorities to make sure we re-open our restaurant only when it's safe for both guests and team members."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
