In view of the threat of Corona, the Punjab government has taken a big decision regarding government employees. In the Kovid review meeting on Friday, CM Captain Amarinder Singh said that the employee who has not received a single dose of the corona vaccine, will be sent on forced leave. The deadline for this has been fixed till September 15. Only those employees will be exempted from this order, who cannot get the vaccine due to health reasons.

Captain Amarinder Singh said that this step has been taken to save the people of Punjab from Corona, so that those who have got the vaccine, do not have to pay the price of constant hesitation with the vaccine. Apart from this, he has allowed those teaching and non-teaching staff to join duty, who have taken a dose of vaccine at least 4 weeks ago. However, they will have to submit a weekly RTPCR negative report of the Kovid test. Those who have any other diseases together and have taken both the doses of Kovid, they will have to give this report only once.
