COVID-19: Staff getting back to work at UP govt offices

A number of staff members were back to work at various government offices here on Monday, registering "normal" to thin attendance according to officials.

"The District Collectorate of Lucknow witnessed normal attendance of employees on Monday with strict adherence to norms of social distancing," District Magistrate of Lucknow Abhishek Prakash told PTI.

He also said, "Stand alone private offices, which are not COVID-19 hotspots in Lucknow will be allowed to re-open on Tuesday. However, they have to ensure that social distancing is strictly complied with and there is proper arrangement for sanitisers. There are around 13 hotspots in the state capital."
Administration officer Rajshri Basak said, "The office re-opened on Monday. On normal days, there are 28 staff members who work in my department. But, today there were only four personnel working in the department. The office will work with 30 per cent staff. Strict instructions have been issued to ensure that social distancing at the work place is followed, and sanitisers are used as a precautionary measure."
