How Amazon is keeping its employees safe
Our top concern is ensuring the health and safety of our employees, and we expect to invest approximately $4 billion globally from April to June on COVID-related initiatives, so we can serve our customers while keeping our teams safe.
This includes spending more than $800 million in the first half of the year on COVID-19 safety measures.
