US-based multinational bank Wells Fargo has unveiled return to office plans as Covid-19 vaccinations ramp up in the country.

According to a Reuters report, the bank aims to start bringing workers back to its offices in September.

The operations are expected to return to normalcy after 6 September, the US Labor Day.

However, Wells Fargo is still considering whether it will allow certain units to return to offices before the Labor Day.

Wells Fargo, which has one of the largest workforces, currently have around 200,000 employees working from home. An additional 60,000 continues to work from the offices.

Notably, the US is one of the worst affected countries by the Covid-19 pandemic.

As of 31 March 2021, it has reported more than 30 million confirmed cases and around 550,000 fatalities due to the novel coronavirus, by far the largest among all countries.

Globally, the pandemic has infected 128 million people and killed more than 2.8 million.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Wells Fargo is encouraging its employees to get vaccinated against Covid-19.

The bank agreed to provide up to an eight hour break to enable its employees across the world to get inoculated.

It also runs a free coronavirus testing programme for employees.

Employees can get tested for Covid-19 at selected hubs or can place a request for a self-testing kit from the company to get tested at home.
