TOKYO -- Nippon Telegraph & Telephone and other major corporations are telling large swaths of their workers to stay home after Tokyo, Osaka and two other prefectures entered a new coronavirus state of emergency on Sunday.
NTT will cap the percentage of back-office employees who come in to the office at 20%. The company had set a 50% limit during Japan's first COVID-19 state of emergency declared in April 2020, and 30% in the second, imposed in January.
