- All National Service Personnel are to take their mandatory paid-annual leave effective Thursday, 26th March 2020 till the end of April 2020.
- All newly-posted nurses who are due to start national service in April 2020, are also to take the month of April 2020 as their terminal leave.
This special arrangement replaces the annual terminal leave granted to all national service personnel under the NSS ACT 426, which is the last month of their service period. This means personnel will be at post in the last month of national service.
