Emaar Group on Sunday announced it has adopted a work-from-home policy for its employees effective today, as part of preventive measures being undertaken in the UAE to safeguard the community's health.
During this period, Emaar Group will continue to monitor global developments and prevention measures, and update its actions based on how the worldwide situation evolves.
Mohammed Alabbar, chairman of Emaar Properties, said Emaar places the highest priority on the health and safety of its employees, their families, its customers and the broader community.

The Address Dubai Mall, Address Sky View and Palace Downtown cannot be booked from March 22 to May 31, the website shows.
