Facebook parent Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) is delaying fully opening offices until late March and will require booster shots from employees to work on campuses - the latest sign of the magnitude of the surge in the omicron variant of COVID-19.

Starting March 28, employees eligible to receive boosters will need to show proof that they received one before using the offices.
The delay comes after Meta previously said it expected offices fully open by late January,
âBoosters provide increased protection,â a Meta spokesman says. âGiven the evidence of booster effectiveness, we are expanding our vaccination requirement to include boosters.â
