Regarding Anam Rizvi s story
: this is a good step. More places need to do this. We are missing all the fun field trips we can no longer take our students on. the Emirates Zoo, Heritage Village, the Grand Mosque, a farm and so many more places.

Coronavirus: Could people who refuse to be vaccinated be prevented from travelling?(December 15): this will be another choice to make – to travel or not to travel. Because there would be several groups unsuitable for vaccinations, those with existing allergies or those who have had allergic reaction to other vaccines in the past or some similar conditions. It will be another way this virus will have changed our lives.
