In

decline
in

cases,
the
Gujarat
government
on
Friday
announced
that
private
as
well

offices
in
the
state
can
now
function

100
per
cent
staff
from
June

taken
by
Gujarat
Chief
Minister
Vijay
Rupani,
an
official
release
issued
on
Friday
said.
All government offices will remain open on Saturday (June 5), it added.
Private as well as government offices in Gujarat have been functioning with 50 per cent staff since the beginning of May, when the state witnessed a substantial rise in infection cases. The state government had allowed only half the work force in offices in a bid to curb the spread of the virus.
However, the number of daily infections has come down drastically in the last couple of weeks. On Thursday, Gujarat recorded 1,207 new cases and 17 deaths.
