As we continue to learn more about how to reduce the spread of COVID-19, WeWork is applying the most up-to-date safety measures<\/a> in all of our locations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve already enhanced sanitisation practices<\/a>, set distancing standards<\/a>, and implemented state-of-the-art HVAC updates<\/a> to bring fresh outdoor air inside\u2014a key way to reduce<\/a> the transmission of an airborne disease. In a Harvard University study<\/a>, researchers estimated that the productivity benefits from doubling indoor ventilation rates averaged $6,500 per person per year. They proved that outside air is good for the brain, and your bottom line.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to updating<\/a> WeWork\u2019s indoor spaces, many of our locations also offer the added benefit of having beautiful outdoor spaces<\/a>. As suggested by the Centers for Disease Control,\u00a0 gathering outside rather than inside slows the possible spread of COVID-19.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor work areas not only provide the open space required to reduce disease transmission but also fresh air benefits our cognitive functions<\/a> and well-being<\/a>. <\/strong>Sunlight diminishes our stress response, lowering our heart rate and blood pressure while stimulating reward neurons in the brain for higher productivity<\/a> and creativity<\/a>\u2014something we could all use<\/a> a bit more of right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
