The measures are timely, given that the UAE experienced an increase in the number of COVID-19 infections after Eid Al Fitr, as reported by the National Crisis, Emergency and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA) in June. Authorities attributed the subsequent increase in infections to large gatherings organised by residents and to a lack of adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures, such as wearing of masks and maintaining social distancing. The Abu Dhabi authorities therefore said the new measures are “part of proactive efforts to prevent [the spread of] Covid-19 variants”.
Sterilisation programme
Among the key new measures is the launch of a nightly sterilisation programme, starting at midnight on July 19. In view of this, from 12am to 5am, there will be movement restrictions across Abu Dhabi. Residents must stay at home during the said hours of sterilisation, unless there is an emergency. Residents will have to apply for a movement permit with Abu Dhabi Police on the website
