In the updated list penalties announced for violating Covid safety rules, the UAE Public Prosecution has maintained a Dh3,000 for failure to wear masks.
Medical or fabric face masks are compulsory for residents entering closed public spaces, shopping malls and public transportation means. They should remained masked up while walking in open places.
Drivers and passengers in private vehicles are to remain masked up as well, unless the driver is alone or the passengers are family members and domestic help; and second-degree relatives.

> When one is playing a sport alone.
> When a resident is working individually in an office.
> When a person wants to be medically examined.
