		</div><p>Amazon has pushed back its return-to-office date for tech and corporate workers until January as Covid-19 cases surge nationally due to the more contagious Delta variant.</p>
<p>Unlike its Seattle-area rival Microsoft and other tech giants, Amazon will not insist that employees receive the Covid-19 vaccine before they return to the office.</p>
<p>Instead, the company said on Thursday that unvaccinated employees will be required to wear masks in the office.</p>
<p>The surge of the Delta variant of the coronavirus has upended many companies’ plans to bring office workers back this autumn, a drive already complicated by efforts to accommodate widespread employee preference for flexible working policies, and debates over how to handle vaccine and mask guidance.</p>
<p>Other companies that have postponed reopening plans include Microsoft, Google, Twitter and Lyft.</p>

<p>Amazon, which had previously set a September 7 return date, said employees will now be expected to report to it US offices on January 3.</p>
<p>Amazon is also implementing a hybrid work plan that will allow many corporate employees to continue working from home at least two days a week.</p>
<p>The delay affects the roughly 60,000 people working in Amazon’s offices in Seattle and Bellevue, Washington, as well as tens of thousands more corporate Amazon employees worldwide.</p>
<p>Amazon is Washington state’s largest private employer, and the delay in the return to office work will be a blow to the many central Seattle businesses that rely on the trade of tech workers.</p>
<p>The vast majority of Amazon’s 1.2 million-person global workforce is still expected to show up on site to pack boxes, sort merchandise and load and unload trucks at Amazon warehouses.</p>
