State staff with medical cert can work from home

Mumbai:  24.07.2020 

Provided state government employees submit relevant medical certificates, those who are pregnant, undergoing chemotherapy or immunosuppressive therapy, or have had an organ transplant, will be allowed to work from home.

The exemption will be given in offices where attendance is by rotation system. In others, the exemption will not be applicable, and attendance will be mandatory. Those availing the exemption must be available on phone and email, in case important work comes up.

This exemption comes as these employees are more vulnerable to the virus. TNN
