谷歌也正在仔细监控整个情况，并将根据需要提供相关的时间线更新。

Additionally, Google has also formed a COVID-19 fund that will enable its temporary staff and vendors globally to take paid sick leave if they show symptoms of the virus or are quarantined.

This fund will allow Google to compensate its workers for normal working hours if they are unable to come to work for the above reasons.

此外，谷歌还成立了一个COVID-19基金，使其在全球范围内的临时员工和供应商在出现病毒症状或被隔离时可以享受带薪病假。

如果员工因上述原因无法上班，谷歌将通过这笔基金补偿他们正常的工作时间。
