JPMorgan is set to re-kit its offices to prepare for more than half of its England-based employees to return from 19 July, but will maintain some safety precautions even as staff numbers ramp up.

In a memo sent to staff on 13 July seen by Financial News the US investment bank said it would lift its current 50% maximum capacity restrictions as it opens its England offices up to more employees from Monday — the UK government’s date for removing existing Covid-19 legal limits on social distancing.
