Early last week the UAE Government announced that movement in and out of Abu Dhabi between other Emirates would be strictly restricted for seven days. 


As of today (June 9), the restrictions have been further extended for another seven days effective immediately. 


While special permits are in place for employees, those working in vital sectors, chronic disease patients visiting hospitals and the transportation of vital goods.


Permits are being issued by Abu Dhabi Police and those eligible to apply can do so here

Residents of the state are permitted to move within the Emirate between 6 am and 10 pm in order to comply with the National Sterilisation Programme.


These preventive means have been put in place to ensure the success of the National Sterilisation Programme.


These restrictions could help in halting the spread of COVID-19 and keep contact to a minimum.
