Coronavirus Fears Prompt Biglaw Firms To Limit Travel, Reschedule Retreats To Protect Partners
“Earlier this week, Americans received a rather stark warning from federal health officials about the inevitable spread of coronavirus in the U.S. ‘[T]his could be bad,’ Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said during a press briefing. ‘It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen anymore but rather more of a question of exactly when this will happen,'” reports Staci Zaretsky in Above The Law’s Biglaw.
Biglaw firms across the country are taking the news seriously, echoing the actions of their colleagues abroad and imposing travel restrictions and canceling events.
