Supplied

Authorities in the UAE are conducting a survey to understand how COVID-19 is impacting our lives.

The online poll by the ministry of community development, aims to identify the challenges people are facing and to what extent current policies are helping them.

It also looks at how satisfied residents are with the movement restrictions and other regulations to curb the spread of the virus.

The survey will help the government introduce new initiatives or make changes to existing ones.

It’s available in Arabic and English, and includes a set of 51 questions.

The study can be accessed here: https://msurvey.government.ae/survey/MSA/cq5/

A similar initiative, led by Abu Dhabi's Department of Community Development, recently surveyed more than 50,000 people in the emirate.
