Gatherings’ capacity increased to 80%

NCEMA updates protocols in view of improving situation regarding pandemic

The UAE’s way of crisis management is not only a role model but a unique experience in how to build proactive opportunities to avoid risks, the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has confirmed.

The authority updated protocols for holding parties, weddings, public gatherings and mourning at homes, allowing 80 per cent capacity that does not exceed more than 60 people, along with only 10 people to serve guests.

The updated protocols come as the UAE is continuing to ease Covid-19 curbs amid a sharp decline in daily reported coronavirus infections and fatalities as well as the increase in recoveries and vaccination rates.

During a weekly Covid-19 briefing yesterday, Dr Taher Al Ameri, official spokesperson for NCEMA, announced that travel requirements for resident and visiting businessmen have been updated in collaboration with the General Civil Aviation Authority.
