Twitter said Tuesday that it will not have business trips before September, with very few exceptions, and that there will be no in-person company events for the rest of the year.
The company, which is under pressure to combat misinformation on its pandemic-related platform, did not disclose the exact number of employees who will be presented with the option of working from home indefinitely.
Tech giants like Facebook Inc and Google from Alphabet Inc have allowed most of their employees to work remotely until later this year.
Last week, Google said it had asked employees to take a day off on May 22 to address work-related burnout from home during the pandemic.
