As we all gradually return to work and visit malls and restaurants and do other activities, people should remain vigilant and act responsibly. We urge members of the community to continue following the advice of the concerned authorities and support the UAE’s efforts as we all move forward together to successfully overcoming this challenge."
Al Hajeri continued, "I also want to reassure people that National Ambulance is working at full capacity and remains at the frontline of the UAE’s emergency medical response and urge people to act responsibly when calling upon the vital emergency medical services that we provide because every second counts in emergency situations and the wise use of the emergency ambulance number will help ensure the efficient delivery of the urgent care to those who need it most."
