Amazon.com Inc. is offering paid sick leave to all workers—including part-time warehouse staff—who are affected by the spreading novel coronavirus, as companies scramble to minimize the economic hardship of the pandemic on their employees.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported on the initiative.
