Amazon has reintroduced mandatory mask wearing for all employees and pushed back its return to office guidance until next year.
Amazon has become the latest major company to reinstate COVID-19 safety measures as the highly infectious ‘Delta variant’ runs rampant across the US.
Late last month Amazon announced plans to significantly reduce its coronavirus safety procedures, scrapping its social distancing enforcement crew, stopping on-site testing and allowing employees to work without a mask.
The retail giant has now made a sharp U-turn on its policy amid a worrying spike in coronavirus cases, almost entirely spread by unvaccinated citizens, according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
