Twitter announced today it will close its Seattle office completely after an employee was told by their doctor “that they likely have” the coronavirus.
The Seattle-based employee is not a confirmed coronavirus case, but they are awaiting final testing.
“While the employee has not been at a Twitter office for several weeks & hasn’t been in contact with others – we’re closing our Seattle office to deep clean,” Twitter’s communication staff tweeted March 6.

Twitter did not note when the Seattle office would reopen. The San Francisco-based social media firm said it “contacted the appropriate health officials” and is “coordinating appropriately to protect everyone’s health and safety.”
