Police officers are at the scene and customers who wanted to enter the store are being turned away.
There was a post making rounds on social media saying one of the staff members at the store tested positive for Covid-19 and those suspected to have come into contact with the member in question were asked to self-isolate for 14 days.
This publication is awaiting detailed information from the Shoprite Group.
