Not that the office hours does not apply to pharmacies, restaurants, and supermarkets.
3- when conducting any meetings they should be done via online conference tools. In cases where it is not possible to use an online conference tool then only 5 people may be physically present in a meeting room
4- the government will increase its inspection of businesses such as restaurants to ensure hygiene rules are followed.
It is also the shop duty to ensure customers keep social distancing and sanitize surfaces.
5- only 20% of the workforce should be in office at the same time.
The remaining 80% should work from home. Key word: WORK.
One thing I am trying to get clarity on is if this applies to office work or all shops too.
You can find also confirmation of news on @QNAEnglish and additional news on iloveqatar.net/corona
Obviously at the end of the day things have to make sense. The government is just thing to get people to work from home where possible. If you have a business that has 5 staff, of course 20% is 1 and 1 can’t run an entire business. Just use logic here.
