(Sharecast News) - BT chief executive Philip Jansen said he had tested positive for the Covid-19 coronavirus and self-isolated.
"I've met several industry partners this week so felt it was the responsible thing to do to alert them to this fact as soon as I could," Jansen said in a statement on Friday.
"Given my symptoms seem relatively mild, I will continue to lead BT but work with my team remotely over the coming week. There will be no disruption to the business."
The company said it was working closely with Public Health England to undertake a full deep clean of relevant parts of its group headquarters and would ensure those employees who have had contact with Jansen were appropriately advised.
