The internet search giant will now ask most of its staff to return to campuses starting October 18th. Previously, the Mountain View, California-based company had set September for the return. Employees who come back will be required to show proof of vaccination, Pichai wrote in a note to employees that was posted on a Google website.

Apple Inc. also extended its return to office to October earlier this month.
