As the coronavirus pandemic continues to slow, Facebook, Microsoft, and Uber have announced plans to reopen offices on a lighter note.

Following more than a year of operating remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Facebook plans to resume in-person work in May.

Microsoft and Uber have announced that workers will be welcomed on March 29 at their respective headquarters in Redmond, Washington, and San Francisco, respectively.

Facebook is reopening offices in the Bay Area, including its Menlo Park headquarters, but capacity will be limited to 10% for the time being.

The organization does not plan to hit 50 percent capacity in its largest offices until September.

Facebook also intends to use masks, social distancing, and weekly COVID-19 tests and reduce the number of people employed in close proximity.

Uber is hoping to resume in-person work as soon as possible. On March 29th, the company revealed that it would reopen its Mission Bay, San Francisco headquarters with a reduced capacity of 20%.

Uber would also adhere to COVID-19 regulations, which include wearing a face mask, maintaining good health, and requesting that workers with sick family members stay at home.

Microsoft is also exploring hybrid work models in the future, beginning with the reopening of its Redmond, Washington, headquarters on March 29th.

All office workers will be expected to work part-time from home, according to the organization.

“Our aim is to give workers more flexibility, enabling people to work where they feel most productive and relaxed,” Microsoft said in a blog post, “while also encouraging employees to work from home as the virus and related variants remain worrying.”
