От 18 март 2020 г. движението на Wikimedia предприема следните оперативни действия в отговор на епидемията COVID-19:

• Всички офлайн публични събития, финансирани от безвъзмездни средства на Фондация Wikimedia, включително конференции, които се провеждат преди 15 септември 2020 г., трябва да бъдат анулирани или отложени до по-нататъшно уведомление. Това включва Wikimedia Summit 2020 и Wikimania 2020.
• Офисите на фондация Wikimedia са затворени за момента
  • Всички служители на фондация Wikimedia работят отдалечено, доколкото е възможно.
  • Офисите се дезифенкцират от професионални екипажи за почистване.
• Фондация Wikimedia премина към намалена работна седмица.
  • Някои служители могат да продължат да работят по обичайния си график, но очакванията са служителите да работят 20 часа седмично, ако е необходимо.
  • Всички ще бъдат изплатени според обичайните си графици на работа.
  • Отменят се нормалните изисквания и ограничения за болестно време; персоналът, който е болен или се грижи за болно семейство, може да вземе почивката, колкото е необходимо, за да се грижат за себе си или семействата си.
• Членовете на нашите общности продължават активно да актуализират, поддържат и превеждат информация за пандемията в нашите проекти на десетки езици.

Глобални ресурси и информация

Увеличаването на социалната дистанция позволява намаляването на резки повишавания на броя заразявания (разпространението на заразара е по-плавно) позволявайки на здравните работници да се адаптират и постепенно да повишат нивото на здравните грижи.

Helpful steps to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus

• Sanitize yourself by cleaning your hands often, by either using soap and clean water for at least 20 seconds, or using a hand sanitizer consisting of 80% alcohol.
• Always cover your mouth when you sneeze, cough and yawn. Viruses can likely be spread elsewhere from little droplets of cough/sneeze.
• Maintain a safe and secure distance from other people, at least 2 meters (6 feet) from others.
• Refrain from touching parts of your body and your face and any other objects surrounding you.
• Everyone is encouraged to stay at home, you should only go when something is important to you. If you either have illnesses, such as fever, cough, headache and diarrhea, or have symptoms of COVID-19, you should immediately head to the nearest hospital if possible.
• If you have an essential task, and must leave your home to go somewhere, don't forget to bring a face mask or any type of face shield with you, and wear it.
• Maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle, by exercising and doing yoga on a regular basis, and also eating and drinking healthy meals, such as fruits, vegetables and vitamin-C.
• Sanitize your home by cleaning the floor and other surfaces on a regular basis using disinfecting tissues.

We encourage you to use this page's talk page to discuss what you and your affiliate or organized group needs during this time. Information on potential assistance for needs identified in those discussions will be shared here.

Често задавани въпроси (ЧЗВ)

What is being done about Wikimania?

Wikimania Bangkok is postponed until 2021. The hotel and venue will remain the same. There are no plans by the 2020 Wikimania hosts to organize a virtual, online event.

It was decided that Wikimania 2021 was to be held virtually. This took place on the 14th to 17th of August. The program can be seen here.

Are there recommendations extending beyond grant recipients?

The Wikimedia Foundation encourages everyone in the Wikimedia movement to consider how their planned activities, especially events, may impact the potential spread of COVID-19. While we are requiring that grant funds not be used for these events, we are strongly encouraging all affiliates and organized groups to similarly cancel or postpone any events they have scheduled between now and 15 September 2020 until the World Health Organization declares the COVID-19 pandemic over.

What about planned Wikimedia Foundation events?

All Wikimedia Foundation travel has been suspended until at least 1 June 2020. All events, off-sites, and in-person gatherings scheduled before 15 September 2020 for Wikimedia Foundation staff and contractors, Board, and fundraising have been postponed or cancelled.

What is happening with the Wikimedia Foundation's current programs and plans?

The Wikimedia Foundation Leadership Team is reviewing all work for the Wikimedia Foundation and attempting to postpone or put on hold all non-essential work pending further assessment of the situation. We are aware that the needs and obligations of the Foundation may shift dramatically in the coming weeks and potentially months. We are taking this step in order to free up capacity and provide the necessary flexibility to address whatever demands may arise and ensure the public has access to the knowledge that can help everyone in these uncertain times. We are not abandoning any longterm commitments or goals. We will return to them and adjust our timelines accordingly as soon as the current situation allows.

How will the Wikimedia Foundation working 20 hours a week work?

We are only asking people to commit to working 50 percent of their normal hours. This is not a holiday. If people are able to work more normal hours, our mission needs them. But we are not tracking their time. We trust that people will give the time they can.

Why? We knew schools would be closing around the world, and a childcare stipend will not help when caregivers are unable to leave their homes. It is unreasonable and unrealistic to expect someone to be fully present, eight hours a day, when they have a three-year-old with crayons drawing on the wall, or an elderly parent who needs help navigating the stairs. We all have loved ones who need care, groceries that need purchasing, doctor’s appointments to keep, neighbors who need a phone call. And you know what? We trust our colleagues. People will work when they can, and when they can not, we trust they will be right.

What is the Wikimedia Foundation currently doing to support the community?

In addition to providing support to our affiliates and organized groups receiving grant funding, we are also looking at ways we can support the additional online coordination which may be required to supplement our usual in-person efforts.

The work of the Wikimedia movement is perhaps more important now than ever before. However, our full potential in supporting the world during this time can only be achieved and maintained by a healthy and vibrant community. That will not happen if we do not all take into consideration what is necessary to support both ourselves and each other as individuals. While this good faith approach to communal support has always been a goal of our movement, the current circumstances require us all to make an even more intentional effort at self and community care.

What is the Wikimedia Foundation currently doing to support its staff and contractors?

The Wikimedia Foundation takes the responsibility of care for its over 375 staff and contractors very seriously. It has been a core value of the organization since our founding over fifteen years ago. Additionally, as an organization we have a responsibility to keep Wikipedia online and available for the world, especially in moments of crisis. A world that is changing requires changing how we work. In order to care for our staff and contractors as well as adapt to change as needed in the weeks and months ahead, we have taken a series of steps:

1. We are accepting that we must adapt to evolving circumstances. The old normal is gone, and trying to make reality conform to last week or last month is not helpful or productive. We are filing away our careful annual planning, OKRs, and roadmaps. Trying to keep up with them is a recipe for stress and uncertainty, none of which help right now.

1. We are focusing on the most mission-critical work. Wikipedia is a website, but Wikimedia is a community. There’s a saying, “come for the articles, stay for the people.” We thrive on meeting in person, haggling over our future, hugging it out, and closing down every social venue in sight. We have cancelled all near-term, in-person gatherings until WHO declares this pandemic over. These were painful decisions, but essential for public health and to give everyone certainty and clarity. No need to worry if that Hyderabad summit will be on in four months, and what visa needs people might have — we can all focus on more immediate concerns.

1. We are protecting our health. The Foundation has been a distributed-work organization for years, with 70 percent of our colleagues working outside of our main office in San Francisco. As soon as we became aware of community transmission in California, we instituted a full work-from-home protocol. Our Washington, DC, office followed within a week. Our goal was to reduce staff exposure and improve health outcomes for the communities in which we work and live.

1. We are lightening the load. Work is not the only thing on people’s minds right now. Their families, their bills, childcare and school closures, the economy… we are all trying to manage a lot. We want to reduce the cognitive strain on our colleagues so that people could take care of themselves and stay healthy. To do that:

1. • We are guaranteeing all contract and hourly workers full compensation for planned hours worked.
   • We are waiving all sick days, so staff do not have to count or use PTO.
   • We have moved to a halftime work expectation.

How long will the Wikimedia Foundation offices remain closed?

Wikimedia Foundation's San Francisco and Washington, DC offices are closed through at least 30 June 2020. We will be reviewing that decision towards the end of June and determining then if it should be extended.

How long will the Wikimedia Foundation's travel be suspended?

The Wikimedia Foundation had previously suspended all travel until at least 1 June 2020.

On 30 November 2021, it was announced by the Foundation that travel and convening could commence again, for staff, board members and volunteers, who would all be expected to adhere to the COVID-19 Travel & Expense Policy.
