Since then, Waitrose have said they have been carrying out additional deep cleans to prevent the virus from spreading.

Concerns were raised over staff infected by coronavirus still working on the site.

Waitrose said they 'refute the claims' and warehouse staff who tested positive are self-isolating.

A spokesman said: "We have a very small number of Covid-19 cases at our large distribution site at Bracknell. The few Partners who have tested positive are all self-isolating, as are the Partners who have been identified as close contacts.

They added: "We have robust hygiene measures in place across all our sites and additional deep cleans have taken place. We are also in contact with Public Health England and continue to rigorously follow their advice and take whatever action is necessary for the health and safety of all our Partners."
