Apple’s Cook offers work from home this week to most staff

Beyond encouraging work from home, Cook said Apple is 'making a major effort to reduce human density and ensure those teams that are on-site can do their work safely and with peace of mind'. — Bloomberg

Apple Inc chief executive officer Tim Cook offered employees at most of its global offices the ability to work from home and called the coronavirus outbreak an "unprecedented event” and a "challenging moment”.

Cook told employees at several global offices to "please feel free to work remotely if your job allows” for the week of March 9 to 13, according to a memo Cook sent that was obtained by Bloomberg News. That extends the company’s move last Friday to encourage employees in California and Seattle to work remotely.
