Best Home Office Essentials During The COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Lockdown

With panic erupting over the more than 4,000 deaths resulting from the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, companies are asking employees to work from home in an effort to mitigate the spread.

As part of the development, firms like CME Group, Inc. CME, Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN and Facebook, Inc. FB have implemented remote working policies.

According to CNN Business, some firms have taken a more drastic approach; Twitter, Inc. TWTR implemented a mandatory work-from-home regime for its global workforce, while Microsoft Corporation MSFT asked only some employees to show up at its Seattle-area offices.

Some on Wall Street are even touting "stay-at-home" stock plays, such as Netflix NFLX and Peloton PTON.
