The world is battling coronavirus as it continues to spread and disrupt people’s lives. WHO has issued precautionary guidelines to prevent more people from getting infected by COVID-19. People’s lives are being affected as the number of infected people is increasing exponentially all over the world. Also, this outbreak has painted a gloomy picture for businesses across the world. The most important precautionary measure that corporations are taking is to provide work from home options to their employees.

Apart from this, organizations are taking different initiatives to spread awareness that would help curb the outbreak. Reddit Co-founder took such an initiative by putting up messages on billboards at the New York times square that says “staying home means saving lives.”

We request people not to panic and avoid misinformation. The most effective way to control the situation is by staying at home as much as we can until the situation gets under control.

But we need to figure out ways to ensure business continuity while adhering to the guidelines set by the health organizations.
