Goldman Sachs has informed U.S. employees who are returning to offices they will have to get a COVID-19 booster shot, if eligible, by Feb. 1 in order to enter company premises as Omicron spreads throughout the country, while New York registers one of the highest infection rates.

Workers must also get tested twice a week starting Jan. 10, according to the recent directive by the finance firm, first reported by Bloomberg. Goldman was one of the main companies pushing for employees to return to their offices.
