New York Stock Exchange to Temporarily Close Trading Floor Over Coronavirus

EXCERPT:

SANTOLI: "Yeah. Of course, important to point out as you did that essentially the kind of central processing is electronic already. Obviously, there are floor functions right here, and it was an attempt to kind of stay open as to help with some of the more manual things that go on here just as a gesture to say we can keep going on the floor. So I do think that it also is in sync with what most businesses are doing on an ongoing basis, deciding what the broader approach should be in terms of limiting groups of people in one place, and I do think that fits right in with that trend."
