The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced people working in companies across the world to work from home. Now, Facebook and Google have announced that they would allow most of their employees to work from home through 2020.
According to CNet, Facebook will not reopen most of its offices before July 6th. Even after that, the company is allowing its employees who can work remotely to work from their homes.
Facebook is considering various factors such as information from public health agencies and government guidance before making any decision allowing the employees to start working from offices.
Apart from this, Google is also allowing its employees to work from home through 2020. Sundar Pichai, CEO Alphabet Inc, told the employees that they can continue to work from home till the end of 2020.
