A NORTH Lanarkshire Council office building has recorded a small coronavirus outbreak.
Members of staff who have worked at the Dalziel Building in Motherwell have tested positive for the deadly bug.
One floor of the building has been closed for a deep clean.
A council spokesman said that the "cause of these cases has yet to be established".

He added: "A public health assessment led by NHS Lanarkshire into a small number of cases amongst staff who have worked at the Dalziel Building in Motherwell is being carried out.
“The cause of these cases has yet to be established however as a precaution the council has closed one floor of the building and a deep clean will be carried out.”
The number of cases has not been confirmed but Glasgow Live reported earlier today that it was thought it could be as many as eight cases.
