Starting Jan. 10, mandatory testing will double to twice weekly, the investment bank announced in an internal memo on Monday. And by Feb. 1, anyone entering offices must have received a booster shot, if they’re eligible to get the injections by that date, the bank said. A company spokeswoman declined to comment on the new measures.
