Syria's Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has urged industry workers to return to production sites from December 10.

The call refers to employees working in deposits, gas and oil refineries, reports the news agency SANA.

The ministry also noted that the necessary protection for workers in the industry is provided by the military operations administration, the body of the armed opposition that has taken control of Damascus and other cities of the country.

The Syrian pound remains the only currency allowed to circulate in Syria in all its denominations. This is written in a statement of the Central Bank of Syria Facebook. The central bank has assured that none of the banknotes have been withdrawn from circulation.
