SYDNEY - A work from home order to combat coronavirus in Australia s most populous state ended on Monday, a milestone for a country with very low Covid-19 numbers, but many companies plan to keep flexible work arrangements into 2021.
New South Wales (NSW) state, home to the country s biggest city Sydney, said it was going ahead with a plan to lift the public health order that has been in place most of the year as it reported no new local coronavirus infections for a 10th straight day.
But the move appeared to be symbolic since the state s employers, which include many of the country s biggest companies, and workers had no plans for an immediate change from work from home arrangements, 10 days from the start of the Christmas holiday period.
