Khaleej Times inspected several public spaces, such as metro stations, shopping malls, tourist attractions, parks and beaches, and found them filled with tourists and residents. For example, the Bur Juman shopping mall was teeming with shoppers. All respondents Khaleej Times interacted with are following proper handwashing and sanitising protocols. Here are some of the top comments:
Ailene Aceron, Dubai resident from the Philippines, said: "I've been here for three years and I am not really worried about the Covid-19 outbreak. I drink eight glasses of water every day and eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables rich with immune boosters."
Ahmed Ismail, Egyptian expat, said: "I've been a Dubai resident for four years. I feel very safe here. I just completed the contract term at my company, but I must say they took very good care of us. We had very good health insurance and access to top-quality healthcare facilities. I also take care of my hygiene. I wash my hands, use a sanitiser, take care of myself and in my apartment, I disinfect it all times and we keep our living spaces very clean."
