Ministers vote to approve a measure that will cut back the in-office presence of public sector work to 50%.

The COVID cabinet approves the measure — which will see at least half of public sector employees working from home — in an effort to curb the rising COVID cases and the Omicron outbreak.

Earlier this week, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett urged private sector companies and businesses to allow their employees to work from home as much as possible.
