MUSCAT: The Supreme Committee has exempted government staff from coming to workplaces starting tomorrow, April 1, 2020 to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

In a decision taken on Tuesday, the Supreme Committee said “the government staff should not come to workplace unless there is a necessity to complete his/her work.”

The Supreme Committee asked the heads of government units to take the necessary measures to ensure that the core business is not affected by reducing the number of employees.

Earlier last week, the Supreme Committee had issued a decision to reduce the workforce to 30 per cent in all government offices while it asked the 70% employees to work from home.
