NYSE TRADING FLOOR REOPENS
WALL STREET, NEW YORK, USA | 26 MAY 2020

The trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange is reopening for the first time in two months, but it won’t look or sound the same.

The floor, known for the chaotic proximity of traders shouting orders over one another, has been closed since mid-March due to the coronavirus outbreak. Fewer traders will be on the floor Tuesday in order to support six-feet social distancing requirements. They also must wear masks, so no “verbal interest” orders will be allowed.

Anyone entering the Exchange is also being asked to avoid public transportation and will have their temperature taken before entry.

The Associated Press is now operational with live stand-up positions outside the New York Stock Exchange. (no media are allowed on the trading floor)

Additional broadcast facilities are available at the AP New York bureau, a few minutes away from Wall Street.
