As the emirate bounces back to normalcy, shopping malls and the private sector can operate with 100 per cent capacity starting today by adhering to strict safety measures. The decision is part of the gradual reopening of economic activities in the emirate and efforts to restore normalcy.

Taking to Twitter, the police explained that residents can step out during "curfew times" only for:
> Buying food and medicines
> Health emergencies
> Job-related purposes in vital sectors.
Residents need to obtain a permit from https://dxbpermit.gov.ae before venturing out during these hours, the police added.

Inspections will be held to ensure full adherence to guidelines.
