That's according to the latest announcement from the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee, which said cinemas will run at 30 per cent capacity.

Meanwhile, public beaches, public parks, private beaches and swimming pools, restaurants, cafes, gyms and spas in hotels, buses and public ferries will operate at 50 per cent capacity.

A maximum of three passengers will be permitted to travel in a five-passenger taxi and four passengers in a seven-passenger taxi.
