U.S oil company Chevron has told 300 UK staff at Canary Wharf to work from home over fears a British employee in its Canary Wharf office may have contracted the coronavirus.
Traders, as well as exploration and refining staff have all been told to work remotely until Chevron gets the test results on the affected member of staff, a source told Reuters.
“Chevron continues to monitor the situation very closely, utilizing the guidance of international and local health authorities,” a Chevron spokeswoman said.
“Our primary concern is the health and safety of our employees and we are taking precautionary measures to reduce their risk of exposure. It is our policy to not provide details of our employees.”
