Abu Dhabi has eased restrictions to allow movement between its cities for all residents starting on Tuesday but extended restrictions on entry into the emirate by non-residents, its media office said on Monday.

Abu Dhabi extended a ban on entering the emirate without a permit for another week, the media office said in a tweet, while allowing residents to exit the emirate freely.

On Sunday, Dubai’s media office said the emirate will allow citizens and residents to travel abroad from Tuesday.

It will also allow foreign visitors to enter from July 7, while foreigners with residency visas will be able to enter from Monday, said the statement.

It added that those entering would have to present certificates to show they had recently tested negative for the coronavirus or would undergo tests on arrival at Dubai airports.

The announcements come more than two months since the United Arab Emirates introduced strict measures to curb the spread of the new coronavirus.

In recent weeks, many of the restrictions have been eased.
