Twitter shuts US offices, tech giants in huddle after new CDC rules

Twitter has announced to shut its offices in New York and San Francisco in response to the new guidelines issued by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The microblogging platform reopened the offices just two weeks ago on July 12.

“Twitter has made the decision to close our opened offices in New York and San Francisco as well as pause future office reopenings, effective immediately,” a company spokesperson told TechCrunch on Wednesday.

“We’re continuing to closely monitor local conditions and make necessary changes that prioritise the health and safety of our Tweeps,” the spokesperson added.
