Microsoft advises that all its Seattle workers who can do their work in their own countries do so for the next three weeks, until 25 March, to prevent the spread of the latest coronavirus.
In the Seattle area, the company employs about 54,000 employees, most of them in its headquarters in Redmond, Wash. The advice released on Wednesday by Microsoft CEO Kurt DelBene covers staff in data centers, retail stores, and other on-site jobs.
Microsoft has also revised its international guide on travel, recommending that people delay their travel to the Seattle or Bay Area campus "unless it is necessary to maintain the stability of Microsoft." The tech giant is the next organization to introduce new protocols for the dissemination of the emerging coronavirus, which triggers a flu-like disease called Covid-19, which Washington State deals with.
Thank you!
