KOTA KINABALU: All state government departments are to keep the physical presence of their workforce down to 50% in a bid to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus in Sabah.
State secretary Datuk Safar Untong said the instructions for half the workforce for any team, department or agency to work from home was issued on Sept 25.
This instruction would stay in force for 14 days starting Oct 5, he said.
