DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. on Wednesday informed employees that it will delay return-to-work plans until early next year amid the continued rise of the coronavirus delta variant.
The automaker said that non-site-dependent workers in most global markets can remain home until January 2022. It had previously said those workers could return in October.
Ford has delayed its plans multiple times since the pandemic began last year, although some teams have returned to offices and design studios at least on a part-time basis.
