Forcing employees to go to the office during COVID-19 pandemic
Regarding the Coronavirus issue,
My employer still wants us to go to the office and they said we have to make our own means of transportation. Our company is manufacturing valves. Are we still allowed to go to work because 80% of the companies are already working from home?
Dear questioner,
It depends on the authority's procedures and measures. If you are working for a Freezone company, you have to check with that Freezone authority if they allow the companies registered with them to operate during this period.
For example, DMCC requested all companies registered under this Freezone to work from home.

Dear questioner,
Check with the local authorities, especially the one which issued your company license regarding the regulation for working on the company premises.
