An order has been issued to complete all official works of the government offices on virtual platform in an attempt to implement ongoing travel curbs and tighter restrictions amid the severe Covid-19 situation across the country.
“All the official works of government offices must have to operate on virtual platforms like e-document, e-tendering, e-mail, SMS and whatsapp amid coronavirus restrictions,” said a circular issued by the Cabinet Division on Sunday.
The instructions have already been sent to all ministries and divisions concerned.
“Instructions have been given to keep closed all the government, semi-government, autonomous and non-government offices to check countrywide Covid-19 infections,” said the circular.
But, all the emergency services and offices remained open during the situation as an exception, it said.
The official order also has asked to take necessary steps to accomplish all the official works of the government offices during this time on virtual platform.
To check the spreading of novel coronavirus, the government first enforced week-long strict lockdown since July 1 and then it has been extended to July 14.
Earlier, the Cabinet Division issued a gazette notification with 21 restrictions amid the ongoing Covid-19 situation.
