Federal government staff to switch to remote work

Due to prevailing weather conditions, federal government employees in the UAE will work remotely on Friday, October 27.

However, this decision excludes those whose presence is required at the workplace.

The UAE Cabinet also directed government schools to switch to remote learning on Friday.
