Despite the ease of movement restrictions, it is still required to receive permits for entry into the emirate and between regions.

Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Committee for the COVID-19 pandemic issued updates to the movement restrictions of the National Screening Programme. Now, Abu Dhabi residents and citizens will be allowed to leave the emirate without a mandatory permit.

However, for entry into Abu Dhabi, and between the regions of Abu Dhabi city, Al Ain and Al Dhafra there is a permit needed, which can be obtained via the Abu Dhabi Police website.

The government also added that “entry and exit of workers to Abu Dhabi emirate is still prohibited”. For certain categories of workers, exceptions are applicable. Particularly, it concerns frontline workers; those suffering from chronic diseases who need to visit healthcare providers outside their area; and workers transporting goods between regions.

These workers still have to apply for the permit or contact Abu Dhabi Police before scheduled travel on (800) 2626. As was said previously, movement restrictions still apply to travel within each region of the emirate during the hours of the National Disinfection Programme, which is between 10:00 PM and 06:00 AM the following day.
