A New York Times staffer based out of the newspaper’s Manhattan headquarters has tested positive for coronavirus, the company announced Monday.

The unidentified worker, who has not been at the office since March 5, is on the mend while self-quarantining at home, publisher A.G. Sulzberger and executive editor Dean Baquet notified staffers in a memo.

Any employees who may have come into contact with the patient have been notified and asked to also isolate themselves, the message said.

The Times last Monday sent out a memo encouraging staffers to work from home in anticipation that the coronavirus crises could restrict employee access to the office.

A sizable chunk of The Times’ 1,700 editorial employees had heeded that advice by last Tuesday, a source had told The Post.

One insider, when asked how many were going that route, said, “I wouldn’t say most, but there were a lot.”

In light of the organization’s first known coronavirus case, company brass on Monday reiterated the importance of working from home.

“We continue to believe that having the vast majority of our colleagues work remotely is in everyone’s best interest,” said the note from Sulzberger and Baquet.
