Almost 200 startups and technology companies in Brazil have joined a movement to prevent the spreading of the new coronavirus in the country. Technology companies have signed a letter asking to do remote work when possible and to pay people who cannot do remote work even if they don’t do their activities. #StoptheSpread movement started in the U.S., to urge the private sector to take action in fighting the spread of Covid-19. The movement aims to flatten the curve of the outbreak.
In the document, companies of Brazil commit and invite entrepreneurs and leaders to fight the pandemic together. Among remote work and other measures, the startups offer instructions on: hygiene and prevention measures recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health; putting on hold participation on any non-mandatory public events of any size; avoiding bars, restaurants, gyms and group meetings; supporting small businesses and their employees during this difficult period; providing support for frontline professionals, first responders and health professionals.
