HH Sheikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council, has issued a directive to all government employees. Starting this Sunday, May 31, 50 per cent of public sector staff will resume work in the office. Two weeks later, on June 14, 100 per cent of government employees will be back in the workplace.
Sheikh Hamdan made the announcement yesterday, saying “the decision is part of the Government of Dubai’s comprehensive plan to restore normalcy in the emirate while also ensuring all precautionary and preventive measures outlined by health authorities are stringently implemented,” according to Dubai Media Office.
