The Government must clarify what applies to vulnerable groups
AKEL C.C. Press Office, 3rd May 2020, Nicosia
While the period of gradual lifting of the restrictive measures begins tomorrow, confusion has arisen over what is provided for in the decrees issued for the return of working people belonging to vulnerable groups of the population. Workers belonging to vulnerable groups have made accusations that they are receiving conflicting information about what they must do. Some are told that they have to go back to their work, others that they have to pass through a medical council, while others are called upon to obtain mandatory sick leave.
The government is urged to promptly clarify applies in these cases, so that people belonging to the vulnerable groups of the population are not exposed to dangers, but also so that there won’t be negative effects on the effort to gradually return to normality.
