Government appeals to employers to make special work arrangement to reduce the risk of the spread of the novel coronavirus in the community

     The Government today (January 28) appeals to employers to make flexible work arrangement for employees in accordance with their operational needs in order to reduce the risk of the spread of novel coronavirus in the community.  Except for staff providing emergency and essential services, employers should consider not requiring all other employees to return to the offices but to work at home.  This will help maintain good labour-management relations and reduce the risk of the spread of novel coronavirus in the community. Employers should review the arrangement taking into account of the latest situation.
