During a virtual Press briefing about the Covid-19 situation in the country, Khaleej Times asked if the authorities were expecting an increase in the number of infections now that restrictions had been eased.
The official said: "It might happen but it depends on the precautions that each individual takes."

Dr Amna Al Dahak Al Shamsi, official spokesperson of the UAE Government, said: "The gradual opening up of economic sectors and return to normalcy will not be successful without the full cooperation of the community and their awareness. It requires the commitment of all citizens and residents."

Reiterating the #WeAreAllResponsible slogan, the official said: "Our bet on moving on to the next stage is based on shared responsibility, and all precautionary measures are dependent on the extent of individuals' response and responsibility. We are all responsible."

When asked if Covid-19 spred has begun to decline at the global level, officials said it is difficult to generalise. "It is declining in some countries whereas it is increasing in some other countries, like some countries in South America, some Southeast Asian countries and those in the Middle East."

Dubai and some other emirates are easing back to normalcy with most businesses, including cinemas and gyms, now open with stringent precautionary measures in place. However, mobility restrictions remain during the National Sterlisation Programme hours from 11pm to 6am in Dubai; and 10pm to 6am in all other emirates.

The Dubai Police have warned residents about a Dh3,000 fine for stepping out during these hours except for emergencies.
