Item 8.01. Other Events.

Verizon Communications Inc. (Verizon) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide an update to the information related to trends affecting our business that was previously disclosed in the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for that year.

As COVID-19 continues to spread and significantly impact the United States, Verizon is taking a variety of measures to ensure the availability of its critical infrastructure, promote the safety and security of its employees and support the communities in which it operates. These measures include, among other things, providing the support for our customers reflected in the FCC’s “Keep America Connected” pledge, providing adjustments to our normal employee compensation arrangements, permitting alternative working arrangements for employees where practicable, and closing certain of our retail locations.

Public and private sector policies and initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, the promotion of social distancing and the adoption of work-from-home and online learning by companies and institutions, could impact our operations and the amount and ways our customers use our networks and other products and services.  In addition, COVID-19 may affect the ability of our suppliers and vendors to provide products and services to us. Some of these factors could increase the demand for our products and services, while others could decrease demand or make it more difficult for us to serve our customers.

Due to the speed with which the situation is developing, we are not able at this time to estimate the impact of COVID-19 on our financial or operational results, but the impact could be material.
