The COVID-19 testing and sanitisation programme in Abu Dhabi’s Al Dhafra region has been extended to more areas.

Al Jefen and Al Yabbana industrial zones are the campaign’s latest stops.

Commercial activities in the areas will continue as usual with restrictions on entry and exit during the sanitisation hours.

Authorities are trying to reach out to as many people as possible and have reassured that legal action will not be taken against those who are found violating visa regulations.
