According to the Ministry of Health, more than 29,000 people have been tested for Coronavirus and hundreds of people have tested positive. It is to be noted that due to the spread of Coronavirus, lockdown has been imposed in all areas of the UAE due to the disinfection campaign.

Dubai is in a curfew-like-lockdown. People are not allowed to go outside except for essential purposes. People violating the curfew are facing strict legal action. For minor violations, penalties are being imposed while for strict violations, authorities are giving imprisonment punishments.

Although United Arab Emirates has closed the land routes due to the severity of the situation, they are running limited flights for the people stranded in the country and the Emiratis in other countries. The COVID-19 Pandemic has reached all parts of the world. Governments all over are trying their best to reduce the spread of the deadly virus.
