As the coronavirus situation is under control in the country, it’s a huge achievement of the United Arab Emirates’ The National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority and its partners to announce easing COVID-19 restrictions (“UAE eases face mask restrictions, scraps PCR test for fully vaccinated visitors,” Feb. 26, Gulf Today website).

The way the United Arab Emirates dealt with the deadliest coronavirus pandemic is highly laudable, I would like to appreciate the residents of the UAE who seriously followed all the COVID-19 standard operating procedures implemented by the government. The government announced easing in COVID-19 from March 1.

People should celebrate the success against the deadly virus but also don’t forget the war against COVID-19 is still going on, till the time the government fully announces the victory against the coronavirus. So it is important to be careful and follow the COVID-19 standard operating procedure provided by the UAE authorities.
