BREAKING: Twitter Shuts Down US Offices Permanently, See Why

Twitter has announced that its New York City and San Francisco offices will be closed permanently in response to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warnings about COVID-19.

The decision to shut its two largest offices comes after the CDC recommended that fully vaccinated Americans in parts of the country with high transmission of the coronavirus disease should return to wearing masks indoors, citing new data on the highly contagious Delta variant.

The CDC also said masks should be required of everyone inside K-12 schools while urging classrooms to return to full-time, in-person classes with proper prevention strategies in place.

“We continue to monitor local conditions and make necessary changes that prioritize the health and safety of our Tweeps,” spokesperson said, according to TechCrunch.
