Samsung Electronics Co "strongly advised” its employees to work from home in a memo on March 16, escalating its response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The document, reviewed by Bloomberg News, sets out the company’s wide-ranging efforts to curb the spread of the virus while minimising business disruption. Entrance to its facilities is now subject to a health screening, international travel has been restricted to only "mission-critical journeys” and there are Samsung task forces around the globe to track and implement the latest expert advice. The company has even sent care packages to some who are working from home or undergoing self-quarantine.
