Until now most companies had focused on restricting travel to areas particularly affected by the virus such as mainland China, South Korea and Northern Italy, rather than imposing wider restrictions. But as the number of cases grow in other countries, firms are looking at more blanket measures. Last Thursday JPMorgan also said it was restricting all but essential international work travel.
Goldman Sachs added that any travel to and within all of Italy is now restricted. All of the firm's staff who have traveled to mainland China, South Korea, Iran and Italy, or have been in close contact with individuals who have been to these countries, are required to self-isolate.
