Twitter Inc. Chief Executive Jack Dorsey is reconsidering plans to spend part of this year in Africa, a trip that has drawn criticism and helped fuel a push by activist hedge fund Elliott Management Corp. to possibly replace him.

Dorsey said Thursday that the spreading coronavirus was, in part, causing him to rethink his travel plans. “In light of Covid-19 and everything else going on I need to re-evaluate,” he said at a Morgan Stanley event.
