British health authorities are urging hundreds of people who visited a pub and restaurant in Salisbury to wash their clothes after traces of a nerve agent used to poison an ex-Russian spy were found.
Sergei Skripal and his daughter, who remain in critical condition, were said to have eaten at the Italian restaurant Zizzi earlier this month, with traces also found at The Mill pub.
Furniture from both locations have all been destroyed and the premises may be closed for a few weeks.
Health authorities said there was little risk of harm to fellow diners, but added that possessions should be washed a precaution.
