Blizzard's Irvine and Austin offices in the US have implemented work-from-home policies due to the current Coronavirus pandemic.
They've also stated that their on-site vendors and contractors will continue to get paid while they aren't allowed to be at the office which is a great step forward during these uncertain economic conditions. We aren't yet sure how they may effect anything with the upcoming Hearthstone expansion but we're suspecting things will be more normal than not.
Stay safe out there and as Derpcorn says, wash yo' hands!
Quote From Blizzard To protect the health and safety of our employees, we are implementing work-from-home policies for our Irvine and Austin offices. Those in our other offices around the world have been or will be working from home as directed by local governments and health authorities.
We will continue to pay our on-site vendors and contractors while this work-from-home policy is in place, and our game teams will work to provide the best experiences we can for players during this challenging time.

My worst fears are becoming true. If Blizzard servers close then what will WE do when we will be the ones in quarantine????
I don't see what there is to fear here.
People will work from home not because the situation is tragic, but rather because it's in everyone's interest to not arrive at that point.
It's the exact difference between preventive measures and repressive measures, being the former ones adopted in order to contain a certain situation that could worsen quickly if left unchecked and the latter ones in order to deal with an already set scenario.
Hopefully, we won't get delays over releases.
Getting salty over HS is a good hobby during quarantine. :p
Hahaha! Truly a favourite past time of all
