“Working from home will be mandatory for employees based in our Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea offices due in part to government restrictions.”
The company is concerned about its employees' well-being given the rapidly increasing death toll.
"Our goal is to reduce the risk that anyone at Twitter might contract or inadvertently spread the virus."
Twitter is not the only company that has shut down its offices in the affected regions. Recently Apple closed down its official stores and corporate offices in mainland China.
