Facebook shuts down London offices after employee tests positive

Facebook has shut its London office after an employee tested positive for coronavirus.

The premises have been closed immediately and its facilities will be deep cleaned, it said.

The closure comes after an employee from Facebook’s Singapore office, who has been diagnosed with coronavirus, visited the company’s London premises.

That person was last in a London office on 26 February, Facebook said.

“An employee based in our Singapore office who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 visited our London offices February 24-26 2020,” a Facebook spokesperson said.
