COVID-19, or the Corona Virus, is having a significant effect on how we interact. The consequences of this virus are not yet entirely known, but one thing we do know is that the rate of infection has taken everybody by surprise. Whilst a wide-spread panic is not going to help anyone, some precautions are an effective measure to minimise the infection. Limiting gathering at a single place, such as the office, is one of them. A significant portion of businesses and government agencies have already invested in a remote working facility - offering secure remote collaboration with co-workers. If your business does not yet have such facility, here is a link to get the excellent Zoho Remotely for free until July 1st 2020. (NOTE: this has been extended till September 1st 2020)
