preview

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.Things are getting Sirius!Page Six has learned that a top exec at has been quarantined to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.In a memo to staff — seen by Page Six — the human resources department said SVP of channel management Sally McMahon had held a meeting Wednesday with her team — and it turned out that some of the attendees had recently traveled through Japan, which has been heavily struck by the virus.“In an excess of caution,” read the memo, “because people were together for a significant part of the day, we have instructed the participants of that meeting to self-quarantine by working from home for the next 14 days.”The network has also put in place a set of rules. It’s banned international business travel, telling staffers who have already booked trips to cancel them, and telling staff who have been in contact with anyone who’s been in China, Iran, Italy, Japan or South Korea to stay home for 14 days.The rules also say, “Please confirm with any guests or visitors who may be coming into our offices that they have been in the U.S. for the past two weeks. If they have not, please do your meeting by phone or Zoom.”After we published this story, Sirius sent out a second memo to staff clarifying the situation. It read, “You may have seen a published report in the New York Post about SiriusXM and the coronavirus. Here is simply what is going on: at a meeting yesterday, we realized a handful of team members had stopped over for a few hours in an airport in Japan. That is all. There is no evidence of the coronavirus among our employees.”Meanwhile, celebs in the building Wednesday included chef Marcus Samuelsson, Susan Sarandon, John Turturro country star Jessi Alexander, and the cast of the “Jersey Shore” (although considering what their immune systems have had to fight off over the years, you’ve got to imagine the “Jersey Shore” folks have pure Clorox running through their veins by now anyway).Reps for Sirius didn’t immediately get back to us.&nbsp;
