UAE will not go back to full COVID lockdown, says minister

The UAE will not go back to complete lockdown due to the Omicron or any other variant of the coronavirus, a minister said on Thursday.

A minister has been quoted saying that Omicron is way less impactful than Delta. Even during Delta, the country hadn’t been locked down because balance has been there (between economy and health sectors). Even with futurist variants when it comes to coronavirus, the country will not go back to a full lockdown.

The UAE had announced lockdowns and travel restrictions after the pandemic broke out in early 2020. But it was also the first country to reopen by applying strict safety and precautionary measures throughout the country.
