One of the stars of Coronation Street has tested positive for coronavirus. Some filming for the ITV soap has had to be rescheduled and the actor is self-isolating at home.
A spokeswoman for the programme did not confirm the identity of the actor. She said: “Although we do not believe anyone has been within two metres of the individual, as a precaution, the production team who were working with the individual have been notified. “In keeping with health and safety guidance, we have also undertaken an intensive clean of touch points in the cohort area where the individual was working and areas of the building they visited. “We believe the situation has been contained and filming continued on Monday.” Coronation Street resumed filming in June
