Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis, and Disasters Committee, in collaboration with the Department of Health- Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Public Health Center, has approved general preventive and precautionary measures for Eid Al Adha prayers at public mosques to protect public health and the community’s safety.

Individuals under 12 and over 60 years old, as well as those with chronic illnesses or respiratory symptoms, may not attend public Eid prayers.
