The UAE government emphasised the need to adhere to the protocol for the Eid Al Adha celebrations, appealing to the public to observe preventive measures during the Eid holiday.
Dr Taher Al Amiri, the official spokesman for the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA), stressed the importance of adhering to the duration of the Eid prayer and sermon that have been fixed to be not longer than 15 minutes in total.
He urged the public to necessarily abide by the precautionary measures such as avoiding gatherings and shaking hands before and after the prayer, using private prayer mat, and wearing the face mask, affirming the continuity of the closure women’s prayer rooms and the mosques on external roads and at petrol stations.
