The New York Stock Exchange will reopen the trading floor to a subset of floor brokers the day after Memorial Day, May 26, according to the exchange's president
Cunningham made the announcement in a Wall Street Journal op-ed. She said the trading floor will look different from the"iconic images" many have grown accustomed to seeing, adding that floor brokers will return in smaller numbers, wear protective masks as they work, and follow"strict social-distancing requirements, enforced by a new choreography," that defines spaces where each person may work on the floor.
The move came after the NYSE sent an update to traders informing them that two people — a member of the trading floor community and an NYSE employee — tested positive for Covid-19, the illness caused by the novel coronavirus. The NYSE had implemented coronavirus screening procedures for anyone wishing to enter the building. Both individuals who tested positive were screened and not allowed to enter the building.
