This is for workers in different ministries who can work from home.

He says there are many ministries where people do not have to sit in the office. Sayed-Khaiyum says these people can work from home.
The Attorney General says the Permanent Secretaries will track the work of those employees working remotely.
Sayed-Khaiyum also stresses that civil servants cannot call members of the public to meet at their homes.
