It adds: "We are getting so many supportive comments and we thank you. We are also getting some backlash and negativity!
"We want to advise that we follow strict guidelines - hand sanitizer stations track and trace, markings on floors for one way systems, all tables two-metres apart, constant deep cleans, waitress service, booking system so as not to go over our allowed capacity and police visits to check on measures.
"All of our staff have now been tested for COVID-19 and all results have came back negative.
"We will always do what’s best for our customers!
"Let’s also remember that someone has tested positive and we wish them a full recovery.
"We hope you all understand."
The Baillieston bar also reassured customers they had been following "strict" health guidelines, including the implementation of hand sanitiser stations and the test and trace system.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde said it is "not aware" of an outbreak associated with the East End pub.
A spokeswoman said: "We are not aware of an outbreak associated with this pub. We will update the public on any significant cluster of cases."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
