Abu Dhabi once again reminded citizens and residents of the penalty involved in stepping out without a permit during sterilization. The National Sterilization Programme that was introduced on July 19th, 2021 restricts the movement of traffic and the public from 12 am to 5 am. The violation of the precautionary measures laid down for the sterilization drive can attract a fine of AED 3000. However, if it is absolutely necessary for anyone to step out at this time, they can obtain a movement permit from the Abu Dhabi police app or website. Applicants only need to enter their name, mobile number, vehicle licence plate number, and the reason for which they require the permit to make their application.
