Meanwhile, the work place rules in Technical Service Unit (UPT) offices is in accordance with the policies of the regional government.

“I am afraid of this virus. But when I'm outside, I'm not that afraid. However, it is just that outside is hot and I feel safer working outside temporarily ,” said the Social Minister.

Working conditions with a large number of employees make the room full resulting in poor air circulation. Therefore, 90 percent employees are deemed to Work From Home (WFH).
