Microsoft just extended remote work to July 6, 2021 at the earliest in the US. ZDNet first reported the story. 
Microsoft closed offices in March to slow the spread of COVID-19, and had originally said employees would remain at home until October.
Google, Facebook, and Amazon also announced they wouldn't require employees in the office until summer 2021.
