The beauty of VPNs is that you can limit where on your corporate network that each user is allowed to go. If you wanted to each user could have different permissions.
Despite it’s name, the coronavirus doesn’t affect computer networks.

To add to this, depending on your corporation's infrastructure there are several ways to secure data... MDM (enforce certain requirements).... Citrix (VDI's and Xenapp can limit what is seen)... geofencing as suggested above... various ATP solutions... depends on how secure you want to make the remote connection and how much effort you are willing to dedicate to it...
