Royal Bank of Canada said it will require employees to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 to work in the bank’s offices, joining Morgan Stanley and other firms in restricting access to some locations as the Delta variant spreads.

Toronto-based RBC said it will begin by asking Canadian and U.S. employees to confirm their vaccination status. They’ll have to be vaccinated by Oct. 31 to work on the bank’s premises, Chief Human Resources Officer Helena Gottschling said in a memo to staff.
