Spotify Technology SA joined the list of companies asking its
employees to work from home over concerns about the novel
coronavirus.
"We all have an obligation to delay the spread of the virus and
the expected pressure on our healthcare system," Spotify Chief
Executive Daniel Ek tweeted Tuesday.
A spokesman for Spotify, which is based in Sweden but has
offices around the world, including New York, said the
work-from-home mandate applied to all of its roughly 4,405
employees around the world.
"In light of the number of employees who take public
transportation and sit within open workspaces in Spotify's offices,
we've asked all employees to work from home for the next two
weeks," the spokesman said. "While there are no known cases of
COVID-19 at Spotify, we made this decision out of an abundance of
caution."
