ALLOW PREGNANT, COMORBID EMPLOYEES WORK FROM HOME OPTION, FIRMS
URGED

Manpower Minister Ida Fauziyah has urged companies to allow workers with comorbidities,
pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers to work from home (WFH).

“I think this is for the sake and on behalf of humanity to offer them an opportunity to work from
home,” Fauziyah remarked in a press statement released here on Saturday.

She also asked workers using public transportation to wear double masks so they can be better
protected against new variants of COVID-19, such as Delta.

She then asked employers to consult with the Industry Regional Administration or the local
COVID-19 Handling Task Force to clarify their business status as essential, non-essential, or
critical without delay.

“This is in order that COVID-19 prevention and handling (efforts) at the companies are aligned
with the existing regulations, in particular during the emergency public activity restrictions
(PPKM),” Fauziyah explained.

She said she has asked companies in Java and Bali to conduct regular COVID-19 tests for workers
using the sampling method as part of efforts to stem COVID-19 transmission during the
emergency PPKM enforcement.
