TheSupreme Committee of Crisis and\nDisaster Management, headed by His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Mohammed bin\nRashid Al Maktoum, announced the easing of restrictions on movement in Naif and\nAl Ras areas in Dubai. Public movement in these areas will return to normal between\n6.00 am and 10.00 pm and restrictions will be in place only between 10.00 pm\nand 6.00 am as with the rest of the emirate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Committee\u2019s decision to reduce the 24-hour\ncontrols on movement follows the success of efforts to combat COVID-19.\nAccording to the Committee, no new COVID-19 cases were recorded in the last two\ndays in Naif and Al Ras. More than 6,000 tests were conducted among residents\nin the areas in less than a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The achievement was the result of the combined efforts\nof all teams involved in the comprehensive sterilisation programme. Comprehensive\nmonitoring and isolation of suspected cases played a critical role in\ncontrolling the spread of the virus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Committee thanked the residents of the two areas for their understanding and cooperation, which significantly contributed to the efforts to combat the virus. The results also reflect the effectiveness of precautionary measures and the competence of frontline workers who worked around-the-clock to fight the pandemic. The COVID-19 Command and Control Centre, Dubai Health Authority, Dubai Police, Dubai Civil Defense, Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services, Watani Al Emarat Foundation, RTA, Dubai Municipality, and other authorities exerted exceptional efforts to safeguard the health and safety of citizens and residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Committee\u2019s decision, which will facilitate\nthe restoration of normal life in Naif and Al Ras, follows the announcement on\nThursday of a new set of guidelines on movement in Dubai and an updated list of\nexempted commercial activities and sectors. As part of the first phase of\neasing restrictions, stringent curbs on public movement will now be limited to\nthe period between 10.00 pm and 6.00 am, during which the public will be\nallowed to leave their homes only for medical emergencies. Sectors and\nactivities exempted from the restrictions can continue to operate normally,\nincluding hospitals and deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Intensive preventive measures implemented in the densely\npopulated and commercially active areas of Naif and Al Ras included rigorous\nsterilisation operations and extensive medical tests. The tests were carried out by specialised DHA\nteams. Essential supplies were provided to residents of the areas during the period\nof restrictions in collaboration with a large number of volunteers who worked\ntirelessly to support the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Committee expressed the hope that this\nachievement will pave the way for further social solidarity in responding to\nthe crisis and a reduction in the overall number of cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Committee stressed on the need for individuals\nto observe preventive measures including maintaining a distance of at least two\nmetres from other individuals and minimising interactions. It also stressed all\nindividuals must continue wearing masks when leaving their homes, and sanitising\nor washing their hands with soap and water to reduce the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
