Sipa USA in full remote operations – ‘In response to the increased health risks to our staff ‘

While Alamy practice their Coronavirus response today, PAN listed photo agency Sipa USA have been on full remote operations since last Thursday.

They say: ‘In response to the increased health risks to our staff posed by the outbreak of the coronavirus in New York, Sipa USA began full remote operations last Thursday.’

President of Sipa USA Jonathan Wells told PAN this morning: “When the mayor of New York requested that if New Yorkers have the option, they should work from home and stay away from public transportation, we thought it was the best thing to do for our staff and their families to follow the advice.
“Since nearly all of our critical operations were already cloud-based, it was an easy transition for us. While we would certainly prefer not to have a public health crisis, we are fortunate to have the option of working in nearly any location. “
