(Bloomberg) -- Traders at Barclays Plc’s London headquarters were sent home at the start of this month after two employees tested positive for coronavirus, according to Financial News.
Staff on the British lender’s trading floor who had interacted with the pair were sent home to quarantine for 14 days and the entire floor was given a deep cleaning, Financial News reported, citing a Sept. 2 memo. Barclays declined to comment.
The decision underlines the challenges companies face as they attempt to bring workers back to the office. JPMorgan Chase & Co. sent some of its Manhattan workers home this week after an employee in equities trading tested positive for Covid-19, just days after senior traders were told to return.
