As fears of COVID-19 rise, companies are reacting with counter-moves against the spread of the virus. On Wednesday, Starbucks announced they are halting the use of personal-use, reusable cups in an effort to combat the virus.

Executive Vice President Rossann Williams made the announcement via an open letter to the company’s stakeholders.

“We are pausing the use of personal cups and ‘for here’ ware in our stores. We will continue to honor the 10-cent discount for anyone who brings in a personal cup or asks for ‘for here’ ware,” she wrote. Additionally, the company is restricting all business-related travel through March 31.
