Dubai has lifted restrictions but officials are keeping a close watch on all residents. Radars have been adjusted to catch people violating movement restrictions in the emirate. The radars are controlled by systems that use artificial intelligence and can be adjusted accordingly. Dubai Police have adjusted settings on all internal roads and highways to keep a close watch on residents.
As per the announcement made by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, business activities in the emirate will reopen from Wednesday, May 27. Residents can move freely with NO restrictions between 6am and 11pm each day. Now, with the curfew pushed to 11pm- 6am, speed radars have been set up across the city to catch those violating the rules.
Besides, those who fail to adhere to the new rule will also be fined AED 3000. Those who wish to leave home during the curfew timings, must apply for a move permit. People working in vital sectors are exempt from the new restriction hours.
