DUBAI: New restrictions have been imposed on Dubai’s movement permits, rationing households to one every three days, as the country continues in its efforts to contain the coronavirus spread.
People will only be allowed to leave their homes once every three days to buy essential goods at grocery stores or pharmacies, while withdrawing cash from ATMs will be allowed once every five days, according to the permit application website.
Individuals with emergency cases will be allowed to leave their homes twice a day, the statement added.
The movement permit system was introduced in March, while imposing fines on violators of the system was later announced.
The total number of infected people with coronavirus in the UAE has reached 5,365, with 33 deaths. The country has also recorded 1,034 recoveries.
