In order to strengthen the efforts of the Government to prevent the spread of COVID – 19 virus in the country, the ongoing Work from Home period has been extended till April 20, President Media Division (PMD) said.
This will apply to all State, semi-government and private sector entities except which are categorized as essential services. This period is not considered as public holidays. Uninterrupted continuation of public services is the responsibility of the Government. However, the objective of this measure is to prevent unnecessary gathering of people and pave the way for self-quarantine.
Earlier, Work from Home Week was announced from March 20 onwards and later extended for every two weeks. The Government announced that the same procedure should be followed during this time too.
