Abu Dhabi will extend restrictions on people entering the emirate for another week, but will allow free movement for residents between the regions of the emirate from tomorrow morning.
The extension of restrictions on entering the emirate means that people can leave Abu Dhabi but must apply for a police permit to re-enter. Those visiting the emirate must also apply for the permit. Exemptions remain in place for all types of goods and mail, while the movement of workers into Abu Dhabi emirate is still prohibited.
