A resident who applies for a permit must wait to receive a message from Abu Dhabi Police on whether the request for the permit has been approved or not. Once granted, the permit can be used to obtain essential grocery items or medicines.

Hefty fines will be imposed on all those who step out of their houses for non-essential reasons during the sterilisation hours.

The sterilisation programme is part of a series of measures undertaken by the authorities in Abu Dhabi to limit the spread of COVID-19 variants.
