Outlining the precautions being taken, he said: "We have enhanced the cleaning procedures across our site and initiated team-wide briefings on hygiene and interaction.

"This includes social distancing, a ban on handshaking and the provision of sturdy closable bins, hand sanitiser gels, tissues, printed NHS advice information hand outs and thermometers.

"Visiting guests are reminded of the government’s specific advice around family circumstances, overseas travel and self-isolation. To further assist our guests, we are facilitating date changes to bookings on request by individual customers.
