Last week an Emirati official said the re-implementation of an overnight curfew would be possible in some areas of the UAE if the number of infections continue to rise.
The UAE first installed a nationwide curfew in mid-March, which was officially removed on June 24.

Earlier this month health minister Abdul Rahman Bin Mohammed al-Owais said some citizens have “become lax in following prevention measures and not adhering to safety and physical distancing rules in gatherings and during social visits,” WAM reported.
