Bonus pay for Samoa’s frontline workers amid Covid-19

Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata’afa acknowledged the hard work and sacrifice of frontline workers during the Covid-19 pandemic during a press conference where she also announced the bonus pay.

“The government employees (at the front line) working on the repatriation and quarantine process had been doing this for a long time now and their contribution is enormous to the safety of Samoa but they are still getting paid the normal wage,” she said.
