UAE may impose restrictions on unvaccinated residents
The UAE is considering the possibility of imposing movement restrictions on residents who have not taken the Covid-19 vaccine despite being eligible to do so.
According to the Covid-19 briefing on Tuesday, the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA) said unvaccinated residents will not be able to enter some places and obtain some services.
Delaying or refusing the vaccine is a threat to the safety of society and exposes all groups, especially those most vulnerable to infection, to the virus, NCEMA added.
The NCEMA stressed that it is necessary and important that residents above 16 eligible for vaccination to get vaccinated in order to reach full recovery and protect society from Covid-19 variants.
Individuals with medical conditions must see a specialist to determine if they are eligible for the vaccine.
