Google is advising employees in North America to work remotely
for the next month, significantly expanding its recommendation for
staff to stay away from its offices
The move announced Tuesday shows how companies are scrambling to
keep pace with the novel coronovirus outbreak in the U.S. Google,
as of a few hours earlier, had only recommended that its employees
in Seattle stay home, while New York and California staffers were
given the option to choose to come to work or work remotely.
Google parent Alphabet Inc. has more than 100,000 full-time
employees, and roughly as many contract employees. Google earlier
said it would pay hourly workers their regular rates, even if they
do not report for duty.
Software giant Microsoft Corp. last week encouraged employees in
the Seattle and San Francisco areas to work remotely through March
25.
