Kadhikwa further said, only three employees at the headquarters reported of possible exposure to possible COVID-19 cases and these employees have been sent home for self isolation. He also said the the ministry has taken instant precautionary measures, instructed staff members consent to cease from coming to work, get tested and isolate while waiting for health officials to inform them accordingly, similarly the ministry has decided to decongest the head office. The ministry has contacted the Ministry of Health and Social Services for their expertise and disinfection of their headquarters.
