Google told all North American employees to work from home due to the coronavirus by rachsandl
Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images: Google on Tuesday told all of its North American employees to work from home in an effort to combat the coronavirus—one of the most sweeping work from home orders in the U.S. to-date. A Google spokesperson said the goal of the recommendation is to reduce the density of people in offices, which may slow down the spread of the virus and reduce the burden on local health resources.
Before Tuesday, employees in New York and California could optionally work from home while it was recommended that employees in Seattle work remotely. Google said it will establish a Covid-19 fund to pay for sick leave and wages for janitors, cafe workers and other third-party vendors who may have their hours reduced as a result.: “Contributing to social distancing if you are able to, helps the overall community spread and most importantly, will help offset the peak loads through critical healthcare systems and also saves it for people in need,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai: As of Tuesday, more than 800 cases have been reported in the U.S.
