Abu Dhabi restricts movement of workers

Companies in Abu Dhabi are no longer permitted to send workers out of the emirate.

It’s one of the steps being taken by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development to limit the spread of COVID-19 in the capital. 

Workers must limit their movement within Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra, and the entry of workers from other emirates has also been banned. 

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’s measures also prevent the entry of workers from other emirates into Abu Dhabi.
