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.
