Please stay indoors, and keep your social contacts to a minimum.

Overnight, the Ministry of Interior and the National Emergency and Crisis and Disasters Management Authority made its strongest plea yet regarding Covid-19, asking all citizens, residents and visitors in the UAE to remain in their homes.

You can, however, venture out groceries and medicines, to perform essential jobs, and in case of emergency.

“The public are also urged to use their own family cars with a maximum of three individuals per vehicle. They are also advised not to visit public places and maintain social distancing protocols during family gatherings as part of the precautionary measures taken to ensure public health and safety,” added the statement.

As lockdowns come into effect around the globe, it’s more important than ever to head the advice of the local authorities. WAM concludes: “The UAE law on communicable diseases, which includes fines and jail terms, will be enforced against all violators, added the statement.”

Citizens and residents should not visit hospitals, unless in emergencies, in which case masks should be worn.

Very good initiative to close down restaurants. Since all Pakistani restaurants were still crowded all the time.
