Facebook will limit offices to 25 per cent occupancy, put people on multiple shifts and require temperature checks when it lets employees back into workplaces beginning in July, according to people familiar with the matter.

Facebook will also limit how many employees can gather in meeting rooms, create 1.80-metre spaces between work stations, replace cafeteria buffets with grab-and-go meals and initially keep office gyms closed, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing company internal policy. The California-based company also will bar outside visitors initially.

Major technology companies, including Facebook, Google's parent company Alphabet and Microsoft were among the first to close offices and send their workers home as COVID-19 began to spread in early March, particularly along the US West Coast where the companies have their headquarters.Facebook announced earlier this month that employees who are able to work remotely can do so through the end of 2020.

Rescuers fed up over selfie-seekers: 25-person operation taken to rescue woman at Sea Cliff Bridge, Wollongong - ABC NewsEmergency services say they are fed up with rescuing thrillseekers at dangerous and illegally-accessed viewpoint, popularised on social media as an iconic 'selfie spot' on the NSW South Coast. Start fining them heavily. No money. Jail time with hard labour to work the cost off maybe Bloody egotistical twats have to go risking thier own lives (admittedly who GAF if it was THEM at risk) but by default go risking the lives of SES & ambulance workers who have to save them thier silly arses. I hope at very least fines for trespass are issued to make a point. I have seen photos taken from there over the years. Took a wander last time we were there and couldn't find a way up that did't involve thick overgrown bush. I'm always up for a good photo, but not breaking the law for one.
