OSLO, Nov 26 (Reuters) - The chief executive of Norway's $1.2 trillion sovereign wealth fund has been diagnosed with coronavirus and is showing mild symptoms, he said on Thursday.
"This means that I am now isolated in my apartment in Oslo where I will be working from for the next couple of weeks," Nicolai Tangen wrote in a post on his LinkedIn account.
He added that a number of his colleagues at the fund, which has its offices in central Oslo, had been quarantined as a result of his positive COVID-19 test, taken on Wednesday, and that he was not sure how he caught the virus.
"Reports so far are that they all feel ok," Tangen said. (Reporting by Terje Solsvik and Victoria Klesty; editing by Edmund Blair, Larry King)
