JPMorgan Chase & Co. asked staff with client-facing roles or critical day-to-day functions in Hong Kong to get vaccinated against Covid-19 or subject themselves to testing every two weeks.

The U.S. bank said such employees will need to get at least one vaccination dose by June 30, according to an internal memo from the lender’s compliance department. Staff who haven’t been vaccinated, for medical or other reasons, will need a test by that time and then share their vaccination or testing status every two weeks, the memo said. A spokeswoman for JPMorgan confirmed the contents of the memo.
