Effective communication and collaboration during COVID-19 outbreak

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, there are a lot more individuals working from home to try to slow the spread of the virus, but turning your home into your office is not an easy task. It’s definitely proven to be a challenging time trying to separate work and personal life when they're both happening in the same place.  In addition, not having the ability to reach over to your teammate, tap them on the shoulder, can prove to be very frustrating.
