“We would also ask that anyone who is suffering from symptoms such as a high temperature or cough, or indeed been in contact with anyone who has, please do not visit our leisure centres and instead follow official medical advice," the company said.

"We apologise for any inconvenience during this time. The decision to remain open will be subject to a daily review and we will keep our members updated as it develops."
