JPMorgan reinstates indoor mask mandate as Delta variant spreads

JPMorgan said it once again will require all employees, vaccinated or not, to wear masks at its offices nationwide as the spread of the Delta variant upends companies’ plans to return to normal routines.

The strict order was sent to all US employees in a Friday memo as Wall Street firms scramble to adapt to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s changing guidance that encourages everyone – even those who are fully vaccinated – to wear masks indoors to combat the virus. The bank — which called most of its staff back to the office in July — said fully vaccinated employees must wear masks in common areas including hallways, elevators, and lobbies as they walk through the building, according to an internal memo reviewed by The Post.
