Ministers set to vote on guidelines allowing for public sector’s reopening — report

The cabinet is reportedly slated to convene later this evening to vote on allowing public sector employees to return to work as early as this week.

The ministers will discuss expanding the “Purple Badge” program — which requires businesses to meet particular hygiene standards in order to remain open — to include government offices as well.

In addition, the cabinet is slated to vote on removing the restriction that bars those over the age of 67 from returning to work, Channel 13 reports.
