Anna Hartley, Director of Public Health at Wakefield Council, has now confirmed that both closures were linked to one case.

We would like to reassure residents, that given the timescales, the risk of the virus being passed on to other people visiting the pubs is low, we are not aware of any further cases at this time.
“We have been in touch with pubs to advise them on the latest Government guidance on cleaning procedures and social distancing. And we are working with the NHS test and trace system to identity those who may have been in contact with the person.
“Residents are reminded to follow the latest guidance on regular handwashing and social distancing to help keep yourself and others safe.”
Both pubs have now reopened to customers.
But they were not the first closures that had been ordered.
These are all the coronavirus outbreaks that have been confirmed in the district as of midday on Monday, July 13.

Parent company Asda said the results represented just one per cent of their staff on site, and they had begun isolating and testing all staff who worked on the affected shift.
The facility remained operational.
The following week, a second outbreak was reported at Ossett's Deep Sleep Beds, with four confirmed cases.
Staff were offered testing, or told to self-isolate where appropriate.
