Lloyds’ office, which is located at 150 Fountainbridge, will be shut for a deep clean while staff are being told to self-isolate.

Staff are also being told to work from home from a contingency site, depending on the team they work for at the company.

A Lloyds Banking Group spokesman said: “The Edinburgh Citymark building will be temporarily closed to allow for the appropriate areas of the site to be cleaned, after a colleague based there was diagnosed with COVID-19.
