The UAE has changed timings for the National Disinfection Campaign from 10pm to 6am from today but the change will not affect Dubai that will continue its sterilisation programme from 11pm to 6am the following morning.
The timings were also to assist economic activity in the gradual recovery and revitalisation of the commercial movement and not disrupting the important sectors of UAE.
This decision to revise the timings in other emirates comes within the framework of facilitating citizens and residents by giving them a greater opportunity to attend to necessary/essential activities.
As movement restrictions in Dubai eased from Wednesday with the stay home order reduced to 11pm to 6am, the municipality announced the reopening of public beaches and parks late on Thursday evening. These include JBR, Al Mamzar, Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim beaches, as well as major parks and the Dubai Frame. Residents and citizens heaved a sigh of relief as many said they had not stepped out for months while adhering to the UAE's stay-at-home policy.
In Sharjah, the Shurooq has announced reopening its popular leisure and entertainment destinations as well as restaurants following the completion of sterilisation and disinfection drive. Major tourist destinations Al Qasba, Al Majaz Waterfront, Al Noor Island, The Flag Island, Heart of Sharjah, Mleiha Archaeological and Ecotourism Project, Khorfakkan Beach, Maraya Art Centre and 1971-Design Space have opened doors for visitors. In addition, the City Sightseeing Sharjah (CSS) has also begun transporting guests to tourist sites across the emirate.

While in in Ajman, cinemas, gyms and children's salons  will resume operation from today with strict safety measures. No gathering will be permitted and safe distance norms should be followed. Retail and wholesale trading sector can receive 70 per cent of the maximum capacity of visitors and 70 per cent of employees can be present.
People are strongly advised to avoid public gatherings, including family gatherings, to ensure the health and safety of all. Residents must wear a mask and gloves when leaving the house while complying with other preventive measures.
