The public sector employees resume work next Monday, April 6. According to Prime Minster Ion Chicu, the managers will have to organize work so as to avoid crowdedness in offices and in public transport, IPN reports.

Also from next week, the education system employees resume work online. “From next Monday, the public sector employees return to work, but under the previous regime, from a distance to the maximum extent possible so that as few employees as possible are present in offices,” Ion Chicu stated after the meeting of the Commission for Exceptional Situations and the meeting of the Single Command Center that manages the COVID-19 pandemic.
