Mastercard is closing its Sao Paulo, Brazil office as well as an annex location near its New York headquarters, due to Coronavirus risks.
A Brazil-based employee who contracted the disease went to the annex office in Purchase, New York, earlier in the week. The Brazil office and the New York office are both undergoing a sanitization process on the advice of public health officials,, according to the company.
Employees who have been in contact with the affected employee and are having symptoms will work from home for 14 days, a Mastercard spokesman told Reuters.
