What are the COVID-19 rules for National Day celebrations?

Earlier this month, National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA) had announced that only vaccinated people will be allowed to attend the UAE’s 50th National Day celebrations held across the country, at a capacity of 80 per cent.

People of all ages are allowed to attend the event, provided they have received a vaccine more than 14 days ago, and received a booster shot, or have a Green Pass status on their Al Hosn application.

People must also show a negative PCR [Polymerase Chain Reaction] test result, taken within 96 hours of attending an event and masks need to be worn at all times when in an area where other people are in close proximity.

This includes maintaining a physical distance of 1.5 metres. However, one family is allowed to sit or stand together without the need to maintain physical distance.
