30000 sick leaves , Kuwait
Around 30,000 public employees in Kuwait had applied for sick leaves for the three days following the official Eid holidays.
“The employees from various ministries and government establishments and institutions have secured the sick leave from public and private hospitals, allowing them not to report to work on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,” a source at the Civil Service Commission (CSC) said.
The sick leaves extend the Eid holidays that started on Friday last week by five days, including the two-day weekend.
