Coronavirus: Why You Must Act Now

Having looked at the data concerning the spread of the Corona Virus in different regions, in combination with the local mitigation strategies used, we have come to the conclusion that the most sensible course of action is to implement a home-office work policy at Flying Sheep Studios effective immediately.

The main issue regions face, are the overloading of healthcare institutions, which results in a higher death rate. Even if the team at Flying Sheep Studios were unlikely to suffer severe health consequences from an infection, reducing the infection risk of our team will contribute to a slower spread of the virus, and thus reduce the strain on the healthcare system at the peak of the infection.

North-Rhine-Westphalia is one of the most densely populated regions in the world, and had 655 confirmed cases as of yesterday. That number has doubled in the last 3 days. As we have the ability to work productively from home, we have decided to do it now rather than later.

We urge all companies, organizations and groups in affected regions to reduce the amount of social interaction where possible.

For an interesting resource to help you get an idea of the current status of the epidemic, as well as the differences between regions depending on the policies implemented, we can advise you to read the following article:
