Return-to-work plans keep getting foiled by the Delta variant

Companies that were eager to call employees back to the office are delaying those return dates as coronavirus infections keep rising.

The big picture: The Delta variant is throwing us back into the thick of pandemic-era living, with new restrictions at restaurants and gyms and complications to return-to-work plans.

Driving the news: J.P. Morgan is the latest firm to reconsider its return-to-work plans, Fox Business' Charles Gasparino reports.

• And Morgan Stanley is sticking with its post-Labor Day return plan, but will enforce a daily health check and require employees to disclose whether or not they've been vaccinated, Gasparino notes.

Worth noting: The Wall Street firms have been among the most adamant that employees should stop teleworking and return to the office.

A number of other companies — including Google, Indeed and Apple — are already pushing back return dates due to the Delta variant.

• There's also a growing list of firms that are requiring employees to get vaccinated.
