Microsoft will let its employees in the US continue working from home until further notice as the COVID-19 coronavirus continues to spread through the country. The Windows giant had planned to recall staff to their offices next month. „This is the new normal. Our ability to come together will ebb and flow,“ Jared Spataro, corp veep for Modern Work at Microsoft, said on Thursday. “Given the uncertainty of COVID-19, we’ve decided against attempting to forecast a new date for a full reopening of our US work sites in favor of opening US work sites as soon as we’re able to do so safely based on public health guidance.” It’s the third time Microsoft has pushed back its office return date. In the optimistic days of March, it announced a low-capacity soft reopening of its Redmond headquarters for September 7.
