Sri Lanka’s government has ended a yearlong work-from-home program for public employees due to the pandemic.
Employees were ordered to report back to their workplaces starting Monday in order to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of public services,
At the start of the pandemic last year, the government imposed a lockdown across the island nation for more than a month, and temporarily closed some government departments.
As a precaution, a limited number of employees were allowed to go to work, while in some institutions, employees had been permitted to work from home since last April.
