The restrictions apply to all residents as well as UAE nationals, with people being allowed to move between the region they live during the allotted curfew timings, 10pm to 6am.
However, just like the announcement stated last week, there are exemptions available for those who work in vital sectors, chronic disease patients visiting hospitals and the transportation of necessary goods.
While the current curfew hours for the whole of the UAE are in place from 10pm to 6am to allow the national sterilisation programme to take place, Dubai’s curfew hours are in place from 11pm to 6am.
