A Maryhill restauraunt linked to a COVID-19 cluster outbreak has insisted it is now "probably the safest place to eat in Glasgow". 

The Botany on Maryhill Road was yesterday identified as a location visited by somebody with confirmed coronavirus. 

The cases stemmed from the M&D Green pharmacy in John Wood Street, Port Glasgow and Amazon in Gourock. 

The Maryhill restaurant has however insisted it will remain open for business as their track and trace system successfully found the customer diagnosed with COVID-19 and anybody who may have been near him.

They assured customers and staff that if they haven't been contacted through their system then they are 'completely safe'.

A statement reads: "For the record: there was a person in on Sunday for one hour with suspected Covid- he has been tracked and traced by our robust Covid compliant systems and anyone near to him have been alerted.

"If you haven’t been contacted then you are completely safe.

"Environmental health were in on Monday and have given us and our systems a complete bill of health and therefore we are allowed to stay open as usual.

"We are now probably the safest place to eat in Glasgow!

"Hope to see you soon at The Botany."
