- A Facebook contractor in Austin has reportedly contracted the coronavirus disease just days after being instructed to return to the office, according to a report from The Intercept's Sam Biddle.
- The staff member works at Accenture, a company that contracts workers to moderate content on Facebook.
- The company instructed its contractors to return to the office starting on October 12, four days before the worker tested positive for COVID-19 according to the report.
- "We have learned that one of our people working at Facebook Domain 8 on the 12th floor has tested positive for COVID-19," reads an internal Accenture email viewed by The Intercept.
- The worker is now self-quarantining, per the report, and the company has asked anyone who came into contact with them to do the same.
