Banks around the world are readying remote offices and isolating teams to ensure they can keep trading

LONDON/MILAN — HSBC has sent more than 100 of its London staff home after a worker tested positive for the coronavirus, the first known case at a major company in Europe’s main financial hub.

The European Central Bank has asked eurozone banks to urgently test their large-scale remote working arrangements, or other flexible working arrangements for critical staff, a letter dated Tuesday that was seen by Reuters showed. HSBC has told staff who came into contact with him to work from home as areas affected undergo a thorough clean.

Unicredit said it had told all employees who have been in contact with a contractor in its Munich office who has tested positive for the virus to self-quarantine for two weeks. Italy has been hit harder by the coronavirus than any other in Europe, with 107 deaths and more than 3,000 confirmed cases.
