The UAE government has eased rules on wearing a mask. According to the Ministry of Health and Prevention has now said masks are no longer needed in the following situations:-

-while exercising outside, at the beach or by the pool

-while in a car or in private with individuals from the same household

– while in a barbershop or salon

-social distancing of two metres remains in place, and businesses have to put up signs explaining where masks are mandatory.

This new rule will be most significant in Abu Dhabi where the previous regulations required people to wear a mask in almost all public places – including while exercising.
