Um. No mention of the elevators and hence all the other floors?HSBC has evacuated a floor of its Canary Wharf office tower after an employee was confirmed to have caught coronavirus.
The bank has sent 100 people home and ordered a deep clean of the 10th floor, which houses its research department. This has so far not affected HSBC’s trading floor, which carries out large transactions on financial markets for big institutions.
HSBC said: “We have been informed that one of our employees at 8 Canada Square has been diagnosed with Covid-19. This colleague is under medical supervision and has self-isolated. We are working closely with the health authorities.
“We are deep-cleaning the floor where our colleague worked and shared areas of the building. Colleagues on that floor, and others who came into contact with him, have been advised to work at home

Also, on the last thread @Lilibet said: "But if you tested positive, can you imagine trying to remember everywhere you had been in the past 2-3 weeks?! Every random contact at the quick stop or coffee kiosk? I guess we all need to start keeping diaries"
I actually started doing this last night. Just a little draft email where I will add a line each night noting where I went and who I had contact with that day.
I don't live in an area with existing cases, but I'm sure it will show up eventually, and I want to already be in the habit of that daily note-taking before I end up in a situation where I'm being asked to recall my activities (and during a time when I might not be feeling at my best). It's an easy enough thing to do and I'm a strong believer in the usefulness of habits and routines.
