Apple has indefinitely delayed the date which corporate employees will have to return to the office, according to Bloombergโ€™s Mark Gurman and NBC Newsโ€™ Zoe Schiffer. CEO Tim Cook sent an email to staff on Wednesday saying the return-to-work date is โ€œyet to be determined.โ€ The company confirmed to The Verge that the date hasnโ€™t been determined. Cook also announced that Apple would be giving each corporate employee $1,000 to use for home office equipment, both Gurman and Schiffer reported.

The delay comes as COVID-19 cases rise and the omicron variant begins to spread. Workers were previously set to return to offices on February 1st in a hybrid work pilot announced internally in November. That itself was already delayed; the company has shifted its plans in the past.

Apple closed three retail stores this week in response to growing COVID-19 infections. On Tuesday, it began requiring customers to wear masks while inside its retail stores.
