Amazon.com Inc. is recommending that employees worldwide work from home through the end of March to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, according to an email sent to staff on Thursday.

Previously, the e-commerce giant had advised workers in outbreak hotspots -- including Amazon’s headquarters in the Seattle area, the San Franscisco Bay Area, New York City and northern Italy -- to stay home.
