What residents think about the partial reopening of Dubai to the public

We were interviewed by Gulf News for our views about the partial reopening of the emirate to the public.

Here's part of what I shared:

"We’re quite concerned about the partial reopening of Dubai to the public because there is still a significant rise in the number of new cases daily… Although the number of recoveries has been great, and that the death rate is impacted by other preexisting conditions of the patients.

But what we don’t want to happen is what happened to Singapore and Japan - 2 countries commended for their proactive response and control of the situation, but apparently after reopening the cities, they face an uncontrollable rise of new cases.

I put my confidence to the authorities in Dubai that they know (for sure) what they’re doing and that measures are properly in place to prevent us from being the 3rd country to experience a second wave."
