The main equities trading floor will shut down at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday for additional sanitization after two people tested positive for the coronavirus as part of the exchange's medical screening, Cunningham said.
"We have been informed that a member of the trading floor community and a NYSE employee have tested positive for COVID-19," said Michael Blaugrund, the NYSE's chief operating officer. "Both individuals were screened at the NYSE security checkpoint, administered a test by medical personnel at the Exchange and, as a precautionary measure, not permitted to enter the building this week. They will be treated and recuperate away from the Exchange facility."
