Bahrain Activates 70% Remote Work for Government Sector Amid Regional Developments

In response to the ongoing regional circumstances and current developments, the Civil Service Bureau (CSB) has announced the implementation of remote work for 70% of employees across ministries and government agencies, effective today.

The measure aims to ensure the continuity of government operations while prioritizing public safety. However, this directive excludes sectors that require physical presence due to the nature of their duties or have designated emergency protocols in place.

The CSB emphasized that this decision aligns with national safety measures and is designed to maintain operational efficiency while minimizing risks during this period. Ministries and entities are expected to coordinate internally to ensure smooth functioning under the revised work arrangement.

Further guidance and updates will be issued as needed, depending on how the situation evolves.
