Combatting COVID-19: Abu Dhabi issues safety guidelines for campers

Health authorities in Abu Dhabi have issued a set of safety guidelines that campers and picnic-goers must follow to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.

In a tweet, Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre urged people to avoid "eating raw or uncooked animal products" and "touching farm or wild animals".

Outdoor enthusiasts have been advised to wear face masks and maintain social distancing at all times.

"Large gatherings" must be avoided unless they are part of the same family.

In case someone shows symptoms of COVID-19, then immediate medical help should be sought.
