Silicon Valley is bracing for the coronavirus outbreak to impact its bottom line as Google closed its offices in China and Apple said its production will be affected. Google, which has 10 offices spread between mainland China and Taiwan, confirmed on Wednesday to Fox Business that the offices -- which had been closed for the Lunar New Year -- will now be closed for the foreseeable future. “The situation is emerging and we’re still gathering lots of data points and monitoring it really closely,” Cook said. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Microsoft told Forbes that the company has "advised employees in China to work from home and cancel all non-essential business travel." Fox Business contributed to this report.
