(Reuters) – HSBC <HSBA.L> has evacuated its entire research department and parts of its trading floor at its Canary Wharf office in London after a coronavirus scare, the Financial News reported on Thursday.
The report cited a person familiar with the matter and said the evacuation was after a research analyst was believed to have been infected with the virus.
The bank was not immediately available for Reuters’ request for comment.
