A majority of state sector employees will continue to work from home this week as well.
The Ministry of Public Administration yesterday issued a new circular further limiting the number of employees required to work physically at government offices.
The circular issued by Secretary to the Ministry MMPK Mayadunne states that heads of institutions have been informed to summon only employees who are essential for the functioning of operations without a breakdown.
The circular also states that whenever possible, heads of institutions must prompt employees to work from home given the prevalent situation.
The circular added the decision was reached due to the prevalent fuel crisis. The circular will however not apply to those engaged in essential services.
