The 24-hour national disinfection programme is scheduled to end on 18 April in Dubai.
All commercial activities in Dubai will continue to be suspended until the end of the previously announced National Disinfection Programme on 18 April. In a tweet on its official Twitter account, Dubai Economy said that exempted sectors will continue to operate as usual.
On 4 April, authorities announced that the National Sterilisation Programme had been extended to run 24 hours a day in Dubai for a two-week period ending on April 18. During this time, Dubai’s Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management has ordered a 24- hour lockdown from 8pm on Saturday across all areas and communities in the emirate in a bid to control the spread of coronavirus.
Medical tests are currently being carried out across various densely populated areas of Dubai.
