Citigroup is set to lay off US employees who do not get a Covid-19 vaccine by the end of the January after mandating jabs for staff in the country in October.

The bank has told employees in the US that they will be placed on administrative leave by 14 January, Bloomberg reported, citing an internal memo sent to Citigroup's 65,000 employees in the country.
