Bahrain's His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa has directed government authorities to enable mothers affiliated with  ministries, government bodies and institutions to work from home.

 

The royal gesture, which takes into consideration the family needs during this exceptional period, provides support to Bahraini working mothers to enable them to take care of their children during the temporary closure of public and private schools and kindergartens due to the Coronavirus scare, a Bahrain News Agency report said.

 

Competent authorities shall regulate this procedure, taking into account  the public interest which requires working mothers to continue performing their duties in vital functions, especially in the health  and security sectors, in the service of the homeland and its citizens and residents in all honor and honesty.

 

He paid tribute to Bahraini mothers, hailing their landmark achievements in all fields and on all levels.
