Citizens praised the work done by the local authorities. "I haven't seen the police so animated. The people here are showing their love and support for the nation in such testing times," said Ayman Al Balushi, a national.
When Sheikh Mohamed got emotional
Last week, reacting to a video of residents singing the anthem, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, got emotional.
"The UAE is proud of our citizens and residents living on our soil. We are proud they (residents) share with us our identity. I was moved to tears when I heard our residents chanting the national anthem of the UAE on social media platforms as the National Disinfection Programme was being carried out nationwide," Sheikh Mohamed said.
