Coronavirus: Bury St Edmunds ASK Italian to close temporarily
The Bury St Edmunds branch of ASK Italian has closed temporarily due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The restaurant, in Parkway, will continue to run a takeaway and delivery service.
In a statement, Chris Holmes, managing director of ASK Italian, said all their restaurants across the UK would close temporarily from 4pm today (March 18).
"The safety and wellbeing of our customers, team members and the wider communities surrounding our restaurants is our number one priority.
"Following the latest government guidance asking people to reduce social interaction where possible, we believe choosing to temporarily close our restaurant spaces is the right decision.
"We will be doing everything possible to look after our ASK teams during these tough and unprecedented times.
"We hope all our customers are staying safe and well, and I would like to say a special thank you to all of you who are working round the clock to keep us all safe.
"We’re looking forward to seeing each of you when we’re back open again."
