The Delta variant may be rapidly fading now but major US corporations are already bracing for another burst higher in new cases as the winter approaches, ostensibly due to the imminent arrival of the new Mu variant: case in point, the WSJ just reported that Microsoft is abandoning plans to fully reopen its headquarters and other U.S. sites early next month and wonât set a new date, for now, given uncertainty around Covid-19.
âWeâve decided against attempting to forecast a new date for a full reopening of our U.S. work sites in favor of opening U.S. work sites as soon as weâre able to do so safely based on public health guidance,â the software giant said in a blog post. Instead, the software giant said it would move to a 30-day âtransition periodâ approach and notify staff with lead time when offices are slated to generally reopen.
