A town's Covid-19 walk-in testing centre has been inundated with "hundreds" of people after pub goers were urged to come forward.
Health chiefs asked people who had been working or drinking at the Crown & Anchor in Stone, Staffordshire, on July 16, 17, and 18 to get tested, after 10 positive cases were linked to the premises.
One individual who tested positive from the pub then attended a private social gathering, further spreading the virus, Staffordshire County Council said.
The pub said on Facebook that it had since taken the decision to temporarily close "due to the overwhelming amount of people visiting".
