A SOUTH Marston pub will be closed for two days due to being short-staffed.

Several employees at The Carpenter's Arms are required to self-isolate after the Test and Trace app pinged and alerted them to the face that they came into contact with someone who had coronavirus.

The notified employees will take a few days to recuperate but this has had a knock-on effect on the pub's ability to remain open.

The pub aims to be back in business as normal at 10am on Wednesday.
