During the quarantine period, special attention will be paid to citizens, who arrived in Uzbekistan after working abroad. The ministry has compiled a list of such citizens. Based on their specialization, work experience and qualifications gained abroad, the issue of employment will be carried out here.

Currently, targeted work is underway with 163,396 people, who could not go abroad due to quarantine. After the quarantine, appropriate measures will be taken to provide them with jobs,” Kun.uz correspondent quoted Boymirzayeva as saying.
