Royal Bank of Canada, the country’s largest lender, has said that it would require all its employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to work on the bank’s premises.
Staff, who are able to be fully vaccinated, will need to do so by Oct. 31 in Canada and the United States, the bank told staff in an internal memo shared with Reuters by a spokesperson.
In the past few weeks, major U.S. banks have started enforcing stricter mask and vaccine requirements for staff, while some have also pushed back return-to-office dates.
