Port Louis, Seychelles. (News of The South)- Yesterday, Seychelles saw it’s first batch of employees going back to work. This comes after almost four weeks of a total local down which was initiated by the island’s government.
Restrictions on the movement of people was initiated after the 11th positive case of COVID-19 was recorded on April 5. Since then, there has been no new case in Seychelles.
“There will be a category of people going back to work, and these will be those working in offices, shops, retail-home deliveries, food outlets, restaurants, mobile units, spas, hairdressers and barbers, postal services, fishing industry, construction and tourism activities.
On May 11, another group will start work as daycare and childminding services will resume. Working parents will be able to go back to work.
Some employees will need to work on a rotational basis even if the workplace is open. The Public Health Authority will organise how workplaces in the private sectors such as shops that sell non-essential items and casinos will resume operation.
A third group will resume duties on May 18 when all primary and secondary schools will reopen,” said Jules Baker, principal secretary of employment.
