British Gas Tunisia sets teleworiking for office based staff



BG Tunisia, in an internal communication letter, did ask all the office employees to keep working from home without any details becoming the first oil and gas company n the country to go full throttle telecoworking in the county while most of the other companies are calling back non-field personnel starting June 15 and that's after a mandatory medical examination as a safety measure.

As a reminder: Tunisia’s nationwide lockdown began March 22, when it had just 75 confirmed cases. The UK, by contrast, did not impose a national lockdown until it had over 6,000 cases, while Italy did not go ahead with the measure until it recorded more than 9,000. Tunisia also took the early step of quarantining patients with mild symptoms in designated facilities such as hotels rather than allowing them to isolate at home as in Italy — a policy that doctors now say was a fatal flaw.
