Adhere to precautionary measures
The DHA reiterated the importance of continuing to observe precautionary measures and leading a healthy lifestyle even after receiving the vaccine. It sought the community’s cooperation in ensuring sustained adherence with preventive protocols to strengthen the efforts of authorities to curb the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Authority said that the success of its comprehensive measures to combat the virus has led to Dubai being one of the safest cities in the world. The DHA has undertaken critical preventive measures including rigorous implementation of monitoring, surveillance and quarantine protocols. It has also taken vital proactive steps such as increasing the Covid-19 PCR testing capacity to more than 80,000 tests per day.
The DHA emphasised that providing a vaccine is part of the Dubai government’s keenness to protect the public from risks of infection, which will contribute to global efforts to overcome the pandemic.
