Oil major Chevron Corp is postponing the full return of employees in California and Texas, joining a clutch of companies like Facebook Inc and Amazon.com Inc that have done the same because of a resurgence in coronavirus cases related to the fast-spreading Delta variant.
The company had planned a return to its headquarters in San Ramon, California, in September and will now monitor regional case rates for improvement to determine a new return date, Chevron said in a statement.
In Houston, home to Chevron's largest workforce, a full return to the office is "not expected to occur before October," the company said.
A third of its global workforce continues to work onsite in places such as service stations and offshore platforms, Chevron said.
