Dubai: With COVID-19 precautionary measures in place, Muslims celebrating the Eid Al Fitr holiday in UAE said they will adapt and improvise to the situation for a safe and enjoyable festival.
On the list are Zoom greetings and meeting in public places in limited and spaced-out numbers. Recently, UAE authorities announced that Eid parties and visits are not allowed this year (as last year) because of the pandemic. Residents have been told to restrict gathering to members of the same household only. Instead of giving Eidiya (money gifts to children) in cash, people have been urged to use digital options. When stepping out, masks and social distancing have to be maintained, together with any capacity limits at venues.
