MANAMA, June 22 (Xinhua) -- Bahrain activated on Sunday a remote working policy for 70 percent of employees in ministries and government entities, citing regional tensions.
The decision excludes sectors where physical presence is essential or which have specific procedures in place for emergencies, as reported by the Bahrain News Agency. The policy will be implemented in line with public safety requirements until further notice.
Meanwhile, Bahrain's Interior Ministry urged the public on social media platform X to use main roads only when necessary, so as to maintain public safety and allow the relevant authorities to use the roads efficiently.
