TORONTO, (Reuters) – The Royal Bank of Canada advises all workers in Ontario and Quebec to work remotely if they have the opportunity, according to a spokesperson. This was in response, a spokesperson stated in a statement that came late Wednesday.

Royal Bank didn’t provide an exact date of return, like some other banks. Leaders encouraged their employees to work at home during December according to the email statement.

Quebec and Ontario announced new restrictions this week amid an increase in COVID-19-related cases.
