A new batch of frontline volunteers will be paid their bonuses soon, the Health Ministry has said.
It has already deposited bonuses in the bank accounts of previous batches of volunteers who were among the frontliners combating the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the ministry said in a statement yesterday.
The statement was in response to reports circulated in local newspapers and social media, alleging that some volunteers have yet to be paid their bonuses.
The ministry commended efforts exerted by frontliners to serve the nation and citizens, combat the pandemic and protect people’s health and safety.
It noted that it had paid financial dues and bonuses to multiple groups of volunteers and national cadres who contributed to combating the pandemic, after all lists of recipients had been subjected to evaluation and review, in co-ordination with the competent authorities.
