The fear of the Coronavirus reaches the epicenter of Apple, the company cancels large meetings and conferences

Sometimes we don't realize it but international news marks what happens in current technology, the main topic of this blog, Actualidad iPhone. We see it with any news and it is becoming evident in recent weeks due to the topic that everyone talks about: Coronavirus. A pandemic that is affecting a great multitude of events, forms of work, and even the international distribution chains themselves; and Apple was not going to be less ... And it is that for the first time it seems that the concern has reached the epicenter of Cupertino, Apple Park itself is on alert for the Coronavirus. After the jump we tell you more details about this controversial news.

It all comes from a recommendation you have made Santa Clara County, a county that includes Cupertino, Palo Alto, Mountain View, and San José, cities in which practically all the most important technology companies in the world are located. The main recommendation, or request, is that they minimize, or cancel if possible, meetings and conferences that have a large number of attendees. These are the recommendations that Santa Clara County has sent to these technology companies:

  • Suspend non-essential travel processes.
  • Minimize the number of employees working at your fingertips, including minimizing or cancel large meetings and conferences that physically gather people.
  • Encourage employees to stay home when they are sick and maximize flexibility in sick leave benefits.
  • Not requiring a doctor's note for employees that they are sick, as health care offices can be very busy and cannot provide that documentation right away.
  • Consider using telecommuting options for the appropriate employees.
  • Consider times of broad job start and finish to reduce concentrations of people at the same time.

And is that In recent days, 20 people have tested positive for Coronavirus in this county of Santa Clara. We will see how this affects the next Apple presentations ... We have a possible Keynote on the air for the month of March, and in the spotlight is also the next WWDC that should be held in June and will include a large number of assistants.
