“It is the responsibility of all Indian nationals residing in the UAE to strictly comply with Covid preventive measures and guidelines issued by the UAE health authorities from time to time, such as wearing face masks at all times, maintaining social distancing, avoiding public gatherings etc,” the consulate said on Twitter.

Members of the Indian community who wish to visit the Consulate for any consular service are advised to avoid such visits unless "absolutely necessary", it added.
