The Public Service Commission has reduced the number of civil servants that will report for work from 40% to 10% with immediate effect but only those with proof that they were vaccinated can board PSC buses.
A circular issued by the PSC today, July 20 said though most of the employees will work from home and should be capacitated to do so, no employee shall remain at home for more than 21 days.
The circular also says all civil servants are considered frontline workers and should therefore be vaccinated.
