Gorman got a test after experiencing symptoms in mid-March, and has since been self-isolating. He continued to work from home, as he said his symptoms were not severe, and he informed the board after he tested positive.

Gorman is no longer symptomatic, a spokesman told Business Insider.

The company is not planning to issue an 8-K, as he was able to work while he was experiencing symptoms.

Gorman, who lives in Manhattan, has led operating committee meetings every day remotely, and has attended board meetings remotely during the period he was ill, the spokesman confirmed.
