As the Dow Jones Industrial Average is in the midst of what could be its worst weekly decline since the financial crisis amid concerns regarding the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, many of the companies that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average are preparing for potential workplace disruptions.

MarketWatch asked the current 30 companies that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -2.72% about how they are preparing for potential workplace closures and whether the outbreak could have a material impact on their earnings. Cisco Systems Inc.
