Friday marked the start of the 7pm-5am nationwide curfew as part of the government's measures to deal with the spread of coronavirus. While the government is urging people to stay at home, it is not possible for all to work from home. Going forward, employers should review working hours to enable employees to leave work early enough to beat the curfew. Early reporting, say 7am, or working over lunchtime and allowing employees to leave by 3pm could help tackle the problems witnessed last Friday. We expect better today from the police, employers and employees to enable all to be at home safely before 7pm.
