Corona symptom is no excuse for absence from office: Ministry

Labour and Employment Ministry has asked the government officials concerned to undergo quick test for Covid-19 and receive treatment, if results come out to be positive.

Instead of going for test, remaining absent from office on the pretext of corona symptoms will not be acceptable, it cautioned in a circular.

Labour and Employment Ministry issued an official order in this regard on Thursday.

State Minister for Labour and Employment Begum Monnuzan Sufian also urged public servants to be alert to possible second wave of Coronavirus.
