KPMG's UK chairman Bill Michael is being treated in hospital for coronavirus.

The 51-year-old tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday after spending a week in hospital. He decided to self-isolate from March 15 as his temperature was higher than normal. The firm has contacted everyone who met Michael before he developed symptoms of the disease.
