Q1) I am an expatriate from the Philippines residing in the emirate of Dubai.. My girlfriend had travelled to the Philippines and is currently unable to return to Dubai because of the recent cancellation of flights.. AnswerAcross the globe, governments and people are experiencing testing times while trying to fight and contain the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.. The UAE's leadership continues to make intense efforts and take various steps to protect and safeguard the health of all the people living in the UAE.. Considering the measures being implemented and the precautions being taken to keep us all safe from the coronavirus, it is our utmost duty to comply with the directives and instructions that are being issued by the UAE leadership.. In furtherance, it may be noted that the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority and the General Civil Aviation Authority on March 23 decided to suspend all inbound and outbound passenger flights and the transit of passengers in the UAE for a duration of two weeks as part of the precautionary measures to combat the pandemic..
