The UAE has completed its national sterilisation programme and lifted all movement restrictions effective today. The residents can now travel freely across the country any time of the day or night. The restrictions have been lifted after a gap of 90 days.
Earlier, the residents were required to stay home during the national sterilisation programme between 11pm and 6am in Dubai and 10pm and 6am in all other emirates.

However, the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has urged the residents to continue following all precautionary and preventive measures in place to fight against the spread of Covid-19.
Avoid gathering
NCEMA stresses on the need to avoid gatherings. Authorities advise residents to commit to social distancing when stepping out and wear masks and gloves.
Children under 12 allowed at malls
Children under 12 years will be allowed at malls and restaurants across the UAE. Dubai had on June 18 lifted movement restrictions on the elderly and children under 12 years of age. With the latest announcement, the movement restrictions on children have been lifted across the emirates.
3-person limit per car
A limit of three persons in a car remains in force across the country. However, the cap does not apply to members of the same family. If there is more than one person in the car, they are all required to wear masks.
