Hotel chain Hilton Worldwide Holdings said on Tuesday it would cut 2,100 corporate roles globally in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

The company also said it is extending the previously announced furloughs, reduced hours, and corporate pay cuts for up to an additional 90 days.

Shares of Hilton were up by 1.6 percent, or $1.25, at $78.71, in noon trading.
