Apple will delay returning its employees to the office until a date “yet to be determined” while giving all its corporate and retail employees $1,000 to purchase home office equipment.
The development was shared with Apple employees in an email from CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday (15), according to various reports. Apple has confirmed the email details to the CNN Business.
The Silicon Valley giant’s move comes amid an increase in Covid-19 cases and concerns over the spread of the Ômicron variant.
Earlier this week, Apple reinstated a mask mandate at all of its US stores and is also closing some of them due to an increase in cases.
Several companies including Google, Lyft, Uber and Amazon have also pushed back their reopening dates several times as uncertainty around the pandemic continues.
At the start of the pandemic, several companies, including Google and Facebook, also offered their employees $1,000 bonuses to help with homework expenses.
