Due to the effect of coronavirus In the World, and the Impact its has already had on lives and living, work and social lives will surely take different mode from time to time now. The next to announce adjustment like others are Google and Facebook.

Facebook and Google have both said they will allow workers who are able to work remotely to do so until the end of the year.

Facebook was among the first tech firms to ask its employees to begin working remotely. It gave employees $1,000 (£807) bonuses for their work-from-home and childcare costs. In a statement today, a spokesman for the tech firm said:



''Facebook has taken the next step in its return to work philosophy. 

Today, we announced anyone who can do their work remotely can choose to do so through the end of the year. As you can imagine this is an evolving situation as employees and their families make important decisions re: return to work.''

Facebook said it would reopen its offices on 6 July as coronavirus lockdowns are gradually lifted, but is still determining which employees will be asked to come in.

The Google chief executive, Sundar Pichai, said employees who need to return to the office will start being able to do so from July with enhanced safety measures in place. Google originally said it would keep its work from home policy until 1 June, but is extending it for a further seven months.

The majority of employees who can carry out their jobs from home will be able to do so until the end of the year, Pichai added.
