Google is increasing its return-to-office policy by January 2022, CEO Sundar Pichai said on Tuesday, due to spreading the Covid-19 pandemic in several parts of the world. The speedy spread of the extremely dangerous Delta variant is also making companies rethink their protection and vaccination policies against Covid-19.
