| City of London Shrugs Off Omicron as More Return to Office |
| 2021-12-06 |
| [Bloomberg] More people are back in the City of London than at any time since the government imposed a lockdown in March last year as Covid-19 ripped through the country. Even as the new omicron variant spreads, almost 80% of workers in the financial district were back at their desks on Tuesday and Thursday of last week, according to data compiled by Google, which tracks the locations of its users. Christmas parties may have been encouraging more people to come to the area, with bars and restaurants thronged with revelers midweek -- but firms are starting to cancel gatherings, or scale back their party plans, in the face of the new variant. |
