The federal government published a decree ordering telework schemes for public employees in Mexico City on June 30, the day of Mexico's round of 16 match in the World Cup.
The decree, published on June 26 in the Official Gazette of the Federation, instructs federal agencies to implement remote work or flexible arrangements. The measure aims to improve urban mobility, road safety and public service efficiency.
Claudia Sheinbaum also asked the private sector to allow employees to work from home, citing articles of the Federal Labor Law. Classes from preschool to higher education in Mexico City will be suspended that day.
Some workers must report in person. These include health, national security, civil protection and strategic services linked to the World Cup. Mexico will face a best-third-place opponent on June 30 at Estadio Ciudad de México.
