Working from home is increasingly common these weeks. Many companies around the world are making those workers who have this possibility, stay at home and work remotely. It is unknown how many Google employees will be able to do this, but it is a measure of importance for the American firm.

It affects your employees in the United States and Canada. Other companies such as Apple or Facebook have recently taken similar measures in their offices, some have even closed their offices in other countries temporarily as a measure against the coronavirus.

Nothing has been said about how long this measure lasts in the case of Google. It is probably something that lasts for several weeks, depending on how the coronavirus evolves. So we will have to wait for more to be known about it. Other companies are likely to take similar steps as well, and many employees work from home.
