State Agencies Switch to Remote Working Mode

Most state agencies in Georgia are switching to a remote working mode from this week. Ministries and other state agencies are following the recommendations of Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia, who advised them last week to work from home to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.

Accordingly, members of staff of the ministries and other state agencies will temporarily work in a remote mode. Private organizations have been recommended the same.

"However, we emphasize that this should not hinder the effective performance of the agencies' activities and should not affect the remuneration of employees," the Government Administration said.

The remote working regime does not apply to the ministers or their deputies.
