Kirkcaldy pool bar closes after Covid outbreak

38 people linked to the Styx Pool Hall on Victoria Road have tested positive for Covid-19.

NHS Fife say their Public Health Team is working with the venue to trace those who were at the venue on Saturday 29th May. 

A number of individuals have already been contacted by contact tracers and given appropriate public health advice.  

The health board is asking any individuals who were in Styx on Saturday to contact our public health contact tracing team on Tel:  01592 226435 or Email: fife.hpt@nhs.scot. 

The venue has now voluntarily closed until Friday 11th June and released this statement on Facebook before the total number of cases were confirmed:

With restrictions having been eased across much of the country last weekend, local people in Kirkcaldy and across Fife are being reminded to follow the FACTS public health guidance.  

This means wearing appropriate face coverings, avoiding crowded places, cleaning hands and surfaces, remaining two metres apart wherever possible and self-isolating immediately should anyone develop the signs or symptoms of Covid-19; such as a new, continuous cough; a fever or a loss or change in the sense of smell or taste.  

Testing remains a vital part of preventing spread of the virus and Fifer's are encouraged to visit one of the local testing sites established across Fife, if they have any symptoms or are concerned that they may have been in contact with a positive case.
