The Ministry of Public Works and Housing has announced Saturday the suspension of working hours at the ministry’s center on Sunday and Monday after a number of employees tested positive for coronavirus.

In a press statement, the ministry said that the suspension will continue until Tuesday morning in order to conduct sterilization operations for all buildings and surrounding areas in cooperation with Civil Defense teams.

The suspension of working hours adheres to the health, safety and preventative measures provided by the Ministry of Health to prevent further transmission of COVID-19.
