IT staff working onsite caught between coronavirus and a hard place

BENGALURU: Indian IT professionals working on client projects onsite are a worried lot. The reason: their employers are finding it tough to send replacements due to global travel restrictions following the Covid-19 outbreak.

Two employees working onsite, including at client locations, in two different European countries told ET that they were “scared” to travel to work locations due to the virus and they cannot opt to work from home because the nature of their jobs requires commuting to work.
