Google of Alphabet Inc said on Tuesday that it would reopen buildings in more cities at around 10% of capacity starting July 6 and would increase to 30% in September, if conditions allow.
Google and its counterpart Facebook Inc had authorized their employees to work from their home in early March following strict government restrictions to contain the coronavirus.
Google said on Tuesday that it would provide each employee with an allowance of $ 1,000, or the equivalent value in their country, to cover necessary office equipment and furniture, as it expects most most of them work from home for the rest of the year.
There are a limited number of employees whose roles are required in the office this year and they would return on a limited and rotating basis, said President and CEO Sundar Pichai in a blog article.
