Heavy rainfall hit the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Thursday, resulting in numerous flight cancellations and the suspension of bus services in Dubai.
Following heavy rains, people and students have been asked to shift to remote work and study from home. Dubai’s MeT department issued an orange alert for Friday as well.
The UAE authorities have mandated that all educational institutions, including private schools, nurseries, and universities, shift to online classes while also advising companies to permit their employees to work remotely. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) said the decision will apply to all private schools, nurseries and universities, according to a report in Mint.
