New school rules in the UAE can help beat Covid-19 – The National

Last summer, after months of intense sacrifice and hardship due to Covid-19, some people around the world were lucky enough to be in a position to start seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

The UAE was one such country. It was a period in which the Emirates felt the relief of a gradual re-opening after several months of strict but necessary controls. Life was still far from normal, however. New variants were emerging, and deaths were still commonplace across the world.

Many of the countries that lucky holidaymakers visited during the summer season, often to see family members they had been separated from for months, would have still required PCR tests in advance and proof of vaccination. The return to schools was staggered, with the constant prospect of a resumption of remote learning if cases rose.
