Visitors, who are not able to leave the UAE due to flight suspensions and the closure of borders, need not worry.
They will be allowed to stay in the country legally.
A special mechanism for this will be announced in the coming days by the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA).
In a statement, the authority said it’s closely monitoring regional and international developments related to COVID-19 and it will continue to assist UAE residents and visitors.
