IBM Pause all domestic travel for internal meetings due to coronavirus

Ibm is halting all domestic travel for internal meetings and cutting down on international travel because of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. The company is also banning employee participation in external events with more than 1,000 attendees.

Ibm is changing its IBM think 2020 developer conference into a’digital-first’ event, though the conference will still place from May 5th to May 7th. Domestic travel for work with clients is still allowed, but the company is encouraging employees to hold meetings virtually when possible.

Preventing employees from attending large group events is a form of’social distancing,’ which prevents people from coming into contact with others who are sick.

Ibm’s restrictions are similar to others announced by tech companies due to coronavirus fears. Google, for example, has canceled two major conferences and limited employee travel. Facebook has restricted social visits to company offices.

If an IBM employee travels to a’restricted’ location, the company is requiring the employee to self-quarantine for 14 days after their trip is completed.
