(Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (N:JPM) sent some of its Manhattan workers home this week after an employee in equities trading tested positive for COVID-19, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

News of the infection, on the fifth floor of the bank's 383 Madison Ave. building, was communicated to employees on Sept. 13, according to the report https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-09-15/jpmorgan-sends-some-traders-home-after-worker-contracts-covid-19?utm_content=business&utm_source=twitter&cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_medium=social&sref=WJKVI5nK.

A JPMorgan spokesman said the bank has been "managing individual cases across the firm over the course of the last few months and following appropriate protocols when they occur."
