Bahrain activates remote work for 70% of government staff amid regional tensions

MANAMA — In light of ongoing regional developments, Bahrain’s Civil Service Bureau has announced the activation of remote work for 70% of employees across ministries and government agencies, effective immediately and until further notice.

The directive excludes sectors requiring physical presence or those with specialized emergency procedures, in accordance with public safety requirements.

The situation in the region further deteriorated after US President Donald Trump announced Sunday that American forces carried out "very successful" airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, amid growing fears of a broader conflict in the region. — Agencies
