OPN 210309 edit — DUBAI VACCINATION CAMPAIGN GETS SHOT IN THE ARM: Dubai’s already robust vaccination programme has received a shot in the arm as the Mohammad Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences (MBRU), in collaboration with the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), has begun conducting vaccination drives across the city through mobile clinics. Deployed as part of its Wellness on Wheels (WoW) initiative, the campaign has already inoculated 7,688 people over the last month. Such initiatives will ensure we rapidly return to a phase of normality and put the horrors of COVID-19 behind us.

Garbine Muguruza in action in Dubai — COMPETITION WARMS UP IN DUBAI DUTY FREE TENNIS: The absence of crowd is hardly making any difference to the quality of competition – if the first two days at the WTA event at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships is any indication. Two-time Grand Slam champion Garbine Muguruza had to sweat to hold off a solid challenge from qualifier Irina-Camelia Begu on Monday night to win 6-3 7-5 and move into the second round. Muguruza, who reached the Dubai semi-finals in 2015 and 2018, has earned more wins than any other player on the WTA Tour this year, and she arrived in Dubai after losing to Petra Kvitova in the Doha final.
