Barclays Plc said that an employee at one of its London office buildings tested positive for coronavirus, adding to a growing list of financial firms sending staff home as the outbreak spreads.
The employee is based at 5 North Colonnade in Canary Wharf, which houses Barclays’ corporate and investment bank and is near the firm’s Churchill Place headquarters. The staffer has been in self-imposed quarantine since March 9, Barclays said Wednesday, and the bank is deep-cleaning the area where the employee was based.
