Facebook is canceling any physical occasions with more than 50 people through June2021 CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted the news as part of an update on Facebook’s COVID-19 pandemic reaction, where he also stated the “vast bulk” of Facebook employees would work from house until at least the end of next month.

” We will need the vast majority of our staff members to work from home through at least the end of May in order to produce a safer environment both for our staff members doing vital jobs who must be in the workplace and for everybody else in our local neighborhoods,” writes Zuckerberg. Some workers, including mediators who cover terrorism and self-harm-related content, can’t work from another location.

Zuckerberg keeps in mind that health experts don’t understand when large events will be advisable once again, so Facebook is preemptively canceling physical occasions for the next year. To make up for the loss in income from Oculus Connect 7, Facebook will donate $500,000 to the city of San Jose.

Much of Oculus Link is currently streamed online, but the show is also a possibility for press and developers to inspect out prototype hardware and brand-new games and apps. Facebook is extending its “no service travel” policy through June 2021 as well, so it’s skeptical it would even ask smaller sized groups to come see hardware.
