Minister for Employment, Productivity and Industrial Relations Parveen Bala.

7,500 face masks has been donated by the People’s Republic of China to the Ministry of Employment to protect those involved in the nationwide workplace survey.

Minister for Employment, Productivity and Industrial Relations Parveen Bala says face masks have come as a timely boost to the current nationwide workplace survey.

He says the purpose of the survey is to gauge the impact of COVID-19 in work sites all over the country.

The survey data is a critical tool for workplaces and the information will be fed back to the government and its partners to inform policy and planning for the collective response to the effect of COVID-19 on the labour markets and how it has affected the services.
