The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Council of Ministers is expected to allow for the resumption of work at government institutions on May 11, according to the Interior Ministry.
“From May 11, 2020, the normal work at the government institutions will resume, if there is no growing coronavirus danger,” reads a Facebook post by the ministry.
A meeting attendee who wished to remain unnamed told Rudaw’s Sangar Abdulrahman that the decision was made at a Tuesday meeting headed by Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and attended by Deputy PM Qubad Talabani.
The resumption will not include universities and schools in the Kurdistan Region.
The decision comes nearly two months after the KRG imposed a lockdown and shut down the governmental apparatus in an attempt to combat the spread of COVID-19.
