Covid-19: Exempt Workers To Resume Work In Delta

Delta State Government has directed civil servants on grade levels 12 and below, who have hitherto been told to work from home, due to Covid-19 pandemic, to resume duties, effective today.
Recall that the State government had, in a bid to curb the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in the state, directed all public servants from levels 1 through 12 to work from home.
The State Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu, issued the directive in a statement made available to The Tide last Monday, in Asaba.
He said the directive was sequel to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s approval that workers on grade levels 12 and below should resume work in their various ministries, agencies and parastatals of government.
The statement added that officers are to be in the office by 8.00 a.m. and close at the recognised closing hour daily, with effect from today.
The Commissioner further reiterated that upon resumption, officers are to ensure full compliance with the Covid-19 pandemic preventive protocols, including maintenance of physical distancing, regular washing and/or sanitising of hands and wearing of face masks.
He emphasised that Permanent Secretaries/Chief Executive Officers are to ensure strict compliance with the directives.
