He went on to say: “The safety of our staff and visitors is an absolute priority and we want to reassure people that we’re following all procedures to keep them safe. These are unprecedented times, so we ask each individual to be patient, vigilant and respectful to others when visiting, and do not visit if you have any signs of the COVID-19 virus.”’
