Morgan Stanley Chief Executive James Gorman said Thursday he was
recovering from the new coronavirus, the most senior Wall Street
executive known to have been infected.
The CEO of the country's sixth-biggest bank told employees he
was doing well in a video posted to the company's internal
site.
A spokesman for the bank confirmed the contents of the video and
said Mr. Gorman's doctor cleared him last week.
Mr. Gorman began experiencing flulike symptoms in mid-March and
later tested positive for Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused
by the coronavirus. He has been self-isolating at his downtown
Manhattan home, where he had dialed into board calls and daily
meetings of his operating committee, a spokesman said.
The fit, previously healthy 61-year-old is the most senior Wall
Street executive known to have been infected with Covid-19. The
chief financial officer of investment bank Jefferies died from it
last month.
As of Thursday, when Mr. Gorman disclosed his illness, at least
1.5 million people globally had been infected and 90,000 had
died.
Morgan Stanley and other banks are set to report first-quarter
earnings next week.
