Ministry of Public Works (MPW) is on guard following the discovery of multiple coronavirus cases over the past days, Al Qabas reported on 14 September.
The daily said, quoting sources that following the detection of infections in various departments, the Ministry evacuated the building for sterilization last Thursday afternoon, and this was why the attendance declined sharply in the past two days due to employee fear.
A number of workers in the office of the Ministry went to Jaber Hospital on 13 September to take tests after news spread about infections in the administration. The sources said that the ministry has 13,000 employees, and that the recent consultations that were held are likely to be the reasons for the increase in infections among employees during the recent period.
