A betting firm has distanced itself from a sign placed in one of its shops’ windows banning workers from a nearby factory from entering after a coronavirus outbreak
Following an outbreak of Covid-19 at Cranswick Country Foods, in Watton, the town’s Betfred betting shop put up a sign banning all employees from entering.
The sign which said “Cranswick workers no entry”, was spotted in the shop window on the high street, but has since been taken down.
A spokesman from Betfred said: “The sign has been taken down and was not company policy.”
This comes after concerns were raised about Cranswick workers living in crowded homes in Watton back in September.
