Facilities will also be audited to ensure that they comply with the requirements of all agencies with issuing permits to workers and take the necessary pledges, as companies are allowed to exit labor and return to the workplace provided there is an existing project with the need to adhere to preventive and precautionary measures to limit the spread of the epidemic in the workplace and housing while signing a pledge not to Workers mix with others outside the industrial zone while working on various projects.
