Google Urges Staff to Work from Home for Coronavirus Outbreak.

Google Urges Staff to Work from Home for Coronavirus Outbreak.

Google recently ordered its staff from North America to work from home, as confirmed by Alphabet, Google's parent company. They did this to prevent coronavirus from remaining safe from the coronavirus outbreak. 

A memo is referring to the staff of Washington, to work from home sent by Google, the tech giant last week. 

It sends the same memo to the officials nearly 100,000 in total, working in 11 offices located in Canada and the US.   

Already the number of affected people in the US reaches 1,000, and Alphabet is the newest company to announce this type of safety measure.  

From the email message sent by Google's vice president of global security, Chris Rackow, it becomes clear. In it, he says, "Out of an abundance of caution, and for the protection of Alphabet and the broader community, we now recommend you work from home if your role allows." 

Although Alphabet ordered its staff to work from in North America, only some of them are allowed to go in who can not continue working without going there. 

Last week many other companies like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, along Google recommended their staff working in Seatle to shift their work to home as Washinton DC is facing coronavirus outbreak. 

The state confirms within last Monday night, the number of cases has reached 160 there. The branches of Alphabet situated in New York and California also worry about the number of cases is on the rise.  

It is sad news that one employee from Amazon and another from Facebook confirmed that they were positive in coronavirus test. 

Tim Cook, the chief executive of Apple, asked his employees scattered all around the world to work from home if they can. 

Twitter also ordered its employees to work from home so that the viral spread remains checked. The social media giant told its employees working in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong that they will work remotely, and it is mandatory. The Twitter authority confirmed it on a blog post last week.  

Twitter also praised its 5,000 employees for not going to the offices as it says their step was "strongly encouraging."
