Covid-19 rules in UAE: All the places where face masks are no longer required

  • Arabic

Follow the latest updates on the Covid-19 pandemic here

The UAE government has relaxed rules about the use of face masks in some public places after a fall in the number of new cases of Covid-19.

Previously, members of the public were required to wear masks almost everywhere outside their homes.

The new rule affects Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

In other words, it covers everywhere except Dubai, which sets its own coronavirus regulations and has already previously eased restrictions on the mandatory use of masks.

So what are the new rules in the other six emirates? And when do you have to wear a mask in Dubai?

The National explains.

When do people no longer have to wear masks?

On Wednesday, the Ministry of Health and Prevention said masks are no longer needed in the following situations:

  • When exercising outside
  • At the beach or by the pool
  • While in a car with people from the same household
  • While alone in an indoor place
  • If in a barber shop or salon
  • While undergoing diagnosis and treatment at medical centres

People can also remove their masks when seated at a restaurant. But they must put them back on if they are walking around.

Masks can also be temporarily removed when people are eating or drinking while at the cinema. They must, however, be worn after they finish.

In all other public places, including public and private gatherings, masks are still required.

These new rules are applicable in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah.

What about Dubai?

The emirate eased rules about masks in late May 2020.

Since then, people have been allowed to remove their masks temporarily under certain conditions.

They are:

  • During specific treatments, such as dental or eye, nose or throat examinations
  • In the office when alone and not surrounded by others
  • During rigorous exercise
  • While driving alone or with members of the same family

Like in Abu Dhabi, people can also remove their masks when seated at a restaurant in Dubai. But they must put them back on if they are walking around.

Masks can also be temporarily removed when people are eating or drinking while at the cinema. They must, however, be worn after they finish.

In all other public places, including public and private gatherings, masks are still required.

Are masks still required outside?

Yes, all across the country masks are still required outside, unless the person is exercising.

At what age do children have to start wearing masks?

Mask-wearing is advised for children over the age of two “if they do not have a breathing difficulty or any chronic disease,” according to authorities.

But it is not mandatory until the child is six years old.

Children must be able to remove the masks on their own when needed.

Is anyone exempt from wearing a mask?

Yes, several categories of people are exempt.

These include

  • Children under six
  • Disabled people who suffer from cognitive, intellectual or sensory disorders that prevent them from being able to breathe or communicate normally
  • Anyone who suffers from sensory triggering as a result of mask use. A medical report is required in this case
  • Anyone who requires supplemental oxygen or suffers from severe respiratory issues, or struggles to breathe with a mask on. A medical report is required

What is the fine for not wearing a mask when you should be?

Anyone who is found not wearing a mask will be fined Dh3,000.

The more serious side of specialty coffee

While the taste of beans and freshness of roast is paramount to the specialty coffee scene, so is sustainability and workers’ rights.

The bulk of genuine specialty coffee companies aim to improve on these elements in every stage of production via direct relationships with farmers. For instance, Mokha 1450 on Al Wasl Road strives to work predominantly with women-owned and -operated coffee organisations, including female farmers in the Sabree mountains of Yemen.

Because, as the boutique’s owner, Garfield Kerr, points out: “women represent over 90 per cent of the coffee value chain, but are woefully underrepresented in less than 10 per cent of ownership and management throughout the global coffee industry.”

One of the UAE’s largest suppliers of green (meaning not-yet-roasted) beans, Raw Coffee, is a founding member of the Partnership of Gender Equity, which aims to empower female coffee farmers and harvesters.

Also, globally, many companies have found the perfect way to recycle old coffee grounds: they create the perfect fertile soil in which to grow mushrooms.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.

Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.

Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.

Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.

“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.

Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.

From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.

Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.

BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.

Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.

Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.

“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.

Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.

“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.

“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”

HAEMOGLOBIN DISORDERS EXPLAINED

Thalassaemia is part of a family of genetic conditions affecting the blood known as haemoglobin disorders.

Haemoglobin is a substance in the red blood cells that carries oxygen and a lack of it triggers anemia, leaving patients very weak, short of breath and pale.

The most severe type of the condition is typically inherited when both parents are carriers. Those patients often require regular blood transfusions - about 450 of the UAE's 2,000 thalassaemia patients - though frequent transfusions can lead to too much iron in the body and heart and liver problems.

The condition mainly affects people of Mediterranean, South Asian, South-East Asian and Middle Eastern origin. Saudi Arabia recorded 45,892 cases of carriers between 2004 and 2014.

A World Health Organisation study estimated that globally there are at least 950,000 'new carrier couples' every year and annually there are 1.33 million at-risk pregnancies.

How the bonus system works

The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.

The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.

There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).

All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.
