  • Amazon has allowed its employees who can work from home to continue doing so until June 2021. The guidance is applicable for staff members around the world.

    19,000 Amazon US frontline employees had contracted COVID-19

  • The announcement has come weeks after Amazon revealed that more than 19,000 of its frontline workers in the US had contracted the fatal coronavirus.

    Notably, Amazon's warehouses have remained open and employees like delivery agents continued working during the lockdown.
