"Safety is of paramount concern so we are going to close for the next two days to make sure the area has a full deep clean and will cooperate fully with the track and trace team as required.
"We perform all due diligence with temperature guns and abiding by the covid rules, however due to symptoms not showing for potentially up to 14 days this has gone undetected."
All of the staff, management and security at the bar will be instructed to get tested before they return to work.
Mr Breeze asked anyone with concerns to contact enquiries@breeze-newport.co.uk.
The bar plans to open again at 11am on Thursday.
