Sky TV call centre in Cardiff is closed after three workers test positive for coronavirus 

A Sky TV call centre closed after three workers tested positive for coronavirus.

Sky confirmed three staff members at its contact centre in Cardiff had Covid-19 and the building will be temporarily closed from today.

Around 700 staff work at the centre in Cardiff but it is believed around 250 staff were working at the site on Friday, while the rest work from home.

The same office closed in March and was shut for deep cleaning after a worker had suspected coronavirus. 

In a statement, Sky said: ‘We can confirm that three Sky colleagues in our Cardiff contact centre have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and they are self-isolating at home.

‘Protecting our people is and always will be our top priority and so we are closing the contact centre today and sending everyone home as a precaution.

‘We’re contacting anyone who has been in contact with our colleagues, the centre itself has recently been deep cleaned and will be deep cleaned again over the weekend.’

Public Health Wales figures confirmed 14 new cases in Cardiff, the highest figure in 11 weeks.

Sky said safety was its top priority and it had a robust contact tracing programme in place.
