Many companies are now striving to create conditions for the remote work of their employees. To help the business sector during the global fight against the spread of novel coronavirus, the previously imposed ban on a number of applications will be lifted. The decision was made both to support the business, and for those pupils and students who are now forced to stay at home and receive distance education.
The following applications will be allowed to use again: Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Blackboard, Microsoft Skype for Business, Google Hangout Meet. The list of applications will be updated.
The UAE’s Telecommunications Regulatory Authority in collaboration with the UAE telecom operators Etisalat and du will enable companies to establish business communications through these applications and will do everything possible to maximize support for business in the country.
Community support is now a priority for both the UAE authorities and ordinary citizens. In the face of common difficulties, only united efforts and the unification of the interests of all sides of society will help to withstand and continue development after the resolution of the situation.
Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19) is a new strain of coronavirus which is causing illness in humans and animals. Most people infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus will feel mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without any special treatment. Older people, as well as those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, cancer or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness, and require immediate assistance. Novel Coronavirus was first identified in a cluster with pneumonia symptoms in Wuhan city, Hubei province of China, quickly spreading around the world. On early March 2020, the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic had officially started, becoming the defining global health crisis of our time. Today, it is the greatest challenge people have faced since World War II, worsened by subsequent lockdowns of whole countries, collapse of entire industries, and a major economic recession.
