Apple Inc, facing a resurgence in Covid-19 cases and a fast-spreading new variant, is delaying its corporate return-to-office deadline from Feb 1 to a “date yet to be determined”.

Employees were informed of the move via a memo sent by chief executive officer Tim Cook on Dec 15. An Apple spokesman confirmed the decision to Bloomberg News.
