Dh10,000 Fine for Transporting Workers Out of Abu Dhabi
Companies are no longer permitted to send workers out of Abu Dhabi and must limit their travel to within Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra, the Department of Economic Development in Abu Dhabi said.
Violating workers transporting companies will be fined from Dh3,000 to Dh10,000 and the firm can be shut down as well, an official spokesperson of the DED told Gulf News on Tuesday.
The department’s measures also prevent the entry of workers from other emirates into Abu Dhabi.
The department has taken further precautionary and preventative measures to protect the health and safety of workers from the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), reducing the likelihood of infection, the authority said.
