Google restores pre-pandemic perks and lifts mask mandates in Bay Area offices
CNN
Google is relaxing Covid-19 policies at its headquarters and other offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and bringing back some of its famous office perks as it fully opens some of its facilities.
Gone are Google's mask mandates in all Bay Area offices, except for those in Santa Clara County, the company told CNN Wednesday. While vaccinations will still be required for those showing up to work in person, the company said it will no longer require weekly Covid-19 testing, dispensing with a policy that it introduced in January.

The photographer Alice Mann documented the increasingly lavish dances for five years in her new book, “The Night is Young.”
