Government and Generalitat ask the population of Valencia to use teleworking so as not to hinder rescue and cleaning work

This was reported yesterday by the Government delegate in the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, and the Minister of Infrastructure, Vicente Martínez Mus, in an appearance at night at the end of another CECOPI meeting from the Emergency Coordination Center in L’Eliana ( Valencia).

Bernabé explained that it is “essential” to reduce the number of workers who move around the affected area, since makes it difficult to channel the aid received from “all of Spain”. “That is why we are going to take all the measures that are in our power,” he guaranteed.

As he explained, he has contacted the president of the Valencian Business Confederation (CEV), Salvador Navarro, to agree that workers can benefit from teleworking. «The collaboration of employers and companies is going to be totaland this is what he has conveyed to me, to facilitate teleworking in all companies where it is possible,” he highlighted.

It will be a measure that “in the coming days” the Government will formally approve to give it legal coverage and to which both State and Generalitat officials can now take advantage.

Those who are not required to go to work

However, the delegate stressed that there are elements that exempt from the obligation to go to work, such as any person who puts themselves at risk by leaving their home or who makes emergency work difficult or those who have lost their home or belongings.

“In this phase it is essential that we make all options available to citizens so that we can allow all that help and channeling of resources and essential material to arrive that will help us continue cleaning and emptying the flooded municipalities,” he insisted.

The Minister of Infrastructure, for his part, insisted on carrying out a “special call” to companies and workers to telework “whenever possible”, with the aim of not hindering the work of emergency personnel.
