Government insist the risk to the general public is low, but if anyone has visited any of the locations during the specified times and goes on to develop symptoms they should self-isolate and call the 111 line immediately.

People who have been at the venues but have no symptoms are not being asked to contact COVID-111 at the present time.

Director of Public Health, Dr Henrietta Ewart, says: "The risk to members of the public who were at these venues at the relevant rimes is small, but as a community we must be vigilant.  

"If you visited the locations specific and feel as though you may have COVID symptoms, please self-isolate and call the COVID-111 service."
