ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation recommends that private sector establishments in the country take the necessary measures to avoid the presence of workers in open areas, with the exception of vital and essential roles that require physical attendance, and to implement remote working arrangements wherever possible. This measure will apply for a period of three days, from Sunday, March 1, until Tuesday, March 3.

The Ministry clarified that the decision to suspend work, or otherwise, is left to the competent local authorities, each within its respective jurisdiction, in accordance with developments in the ongoing situation.

The Ministry also called on local private sector establishments to obtain information and follow updates from official sources at both the federal and local levels in the country.
