IT WILL BE BACK TO BUSINESS at the headquarters of the National Assistance Board (NAB) from May 12.
It was closed two weeks ago after five administrative staffers based there tested positive for novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Since then, one other staff member from the Country Road, St Michael headquarters as well as a home help worker tested positive for the viral illness.
