Philip Jansen, CEO of BT Group, assured that there would be no disruption to the operator’s business after the company revealed he had self-isolated at home following a positive diagnosis for coronavirus. Jansen explained in a statement that he followed quarantine protocols issued by Public Health England after contracting the virus.

“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. He added he would continue leading the company by working remotely in the upcoming week.

The operator announced it took action by working with Public Health England to undertake a full deep clean of relevant parts of its group headquarters and will ensure those employees who have had contact with Philip are appropriately advised. Public Health England’s guidelines require people with confirmed or possible Covid-19 infection to self-isolate and not leave their home for seven days from the start of showing symptoms.
