BOSTON, (Reuters) –Fidelity Investments announced Monday that it had halted voluntary return to office plans for New England employees due to a growing risk of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a spokesperson for the family-controlled business, it has stopped “pilot” return programs to its office in Boston and Merrimack in New Hampshire because of rising COVID risk scores.

Michael Aalto, a spokesman for the company, stated that hundreds of people were going into those areas, which are the centers of gravity at the Boston-based business. According to him, voluntary pilots that represent thousands of employees continue to be in place at other places around the United States.

Fidelity employs approximately 52,0000 people, most of them in the United States.
