Facebook on Thursday postponed workers' return to the office until early next year due to surging cases of the Delta variant of the coronavirus.
The leading social network set a new target of having employees back on its campuses in January, but promised to provide ample notice before they are required to show up.
For now, the data shows rising numbers of Covid cases based on the Delta variant, the spokesperson said. At Microsoft, the earliest date for fully reopening US facilities will be October 4, according to the computing giant based in the state of Washington.
