The online job recruitment/search platform issued its order earlier this month after learning that a Singapore employee’s relatives may have been exposed to the virus. It shut down three offices in Sydney, Singapore and Dublin even though none of its employees had tested positive.
"While there are no confirmed cases of infection, out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of our employees, we have asked all employees in Singapore, along with anyone who has recently visited our Singapore offices, to work from home until February 17th," a spokesperson said.
The employees working out of Indeed’s European headquarters in Ireland, as well as those in the Australia office, were told to remain home because some workers who visited Singapore recently had also been at the Dublin and Sydney offices.
