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.
If you could use one word to describe 2020, what would it be?
UAE residents have shared what first comes to mind when they look back at 2020, rolling up their thoughts and feelings into one word. Not surprisingly, “challenging” times were common themes, but there were also “promising” ones.
No doubt the world has gone through a lot this year, dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic. But amid the fog of uncertainty, which seems to have engulfed us from all sides, there are also glows of light pointing to a way out. With many people now committed to the new normal, and with the beginning of vaccinations against the pandemic, there seems to be a new dawn breaking on the horizon of 2021.
