Goldman Sachs has sent some employees at its Plumtree Court headquarters home after two staff on its London trading floors tested positive for Covid-19, as banks in the City keep some key workers in the office amid a spike in virus infections across the UK.

In a memo to staff sent on 15 October, seen by Financial News, the bank said that one employee on the fourth floor of its London office and another on the fifth floor were self-isolating after testing positive with Covid-19.
