The exception also includes those assigned by the heads of local units and directors of directorates, in coordination with the Secretary General of the governorate, to ensure the continued regularity of work and the provision of services to citizens without being affected.
The governor stressed the need to fully adhere to all procedures and controls regulating the workflow, while ensuring that the interests of citizens are not disturbed or the services provided to them are disrupted.
