Valet parking services have resumed under strict guidelines in Abu Dhabi. These include mandatory Covid-19 tests for valet parking workers, washing and sanitising of their hands after parking each car and regular temperature checks.

Many shopping malls, hotels, resorts, companies and government entities offer valet parking services to their visitors and customers.
A national database of over 80,000 frontline workers and volunteers actively protecting the UAE and its residents from Covid-19 has been set up.

The registry includes healthcare practitioners, police, essential service providers, crisis managers, security and emergency service providers, humanitarian agencies, sterilisation personnel and volunteers. It aims to not only recognise and champion their commitment to public service but also to support their ongoing well-being through a wide range of targeted support services and programmes.
A gang that tricked 150 job-seekers into transferring cash for non-existent career opportunities has been busted in Dubai. The scamsters created a bogus recruitment agency and defrauded the victims with fake jobs. Brigadier Jamal Salem Al Jalaf, director of the General Department of Criminal Investigation (CID) at the Dubai Police, said: "The gang would lure victims by posting fake job opportunities with attractive salaries. They would then ask the victim for money for made-up reasons such as recruitment fees, taxes or for booking an interview appointment. In light of the Covid-19 pandemic and the rise in the number of job-seekers, the gang managed to defraud 150 individuals." Colonel Salah Jumaa Bousaiba, director of the Economic Crimes Control Department, said the team received a tip-off about the bogus agency run by an Asian.
Understanding the true essence of collective responsibility, 15-year-old Aaditya Gandhi has been refraining from physical social interactions. The young boy has been holding himself back from meeting friends face-to-face. "Apart from following all mandatory precautions pertaining to Covid-19, I haven't physically met my friends in a very long time. I connect with them on virtual platforms due to social distancing protocols," said Aaditya. The boy has taken part in virtual plays based on Covid-19 themes. "I participated in an online theatre production called 'Scenes from a quarantine'," said the Grade 10 student of Gems Winchester school. The teenager said one can get anxious, overwhelmed and stressed during the pandemic.
