The UAE will not wait for scientists, nor researchers, until they come up with a vaccine for the emerging corona virus, but rather clearly decided to confront and combat this virus, by tightening precautionary measures and modifying the behavior of members of society, in a way that guarantees them to return to their normal life gradually, without fear of exposure To be infected with the "virus", provided that all government measures and decisions are strictly adhered to.

The UAE has adopted unprecedented policies and procedures to combat "Corona", making it with global certification one of the 10 best countries in the world by combating this "virus", and one of the 20 best countries in the world with its medical equipment. These policies consisted of several axes, including the preventive measures axis where they initiated From the beginning, the schools were closed, remote work began, and then I went through the procedures for closing economic activities and restricting movement, and starting the national sterilization program for different hours.

This axis coincided with the axis of the pre-medical exams, which are related to the discovery of those infected with the "virus" before symptoms appear on them, and this axis specifically in which the UAE has succeeded, and even surpassed it globally, to be the first country in the world in the number of tests it conducted, which exceeded the ceiling of two million And included more than 22% of the population, and this measure has contributed effectively to attack the "virus", and not to give him the opportunity to spread widely.

With these two axes, there was also a third concurrent axis, which is the awareness and education axis, and the dissemination of information and statistics at the required speed, and this is what the local media clearly exceled, as it was daily pumping diverse and huge educational content, leaving no straying or incoming from the "virus" And how to address it, except to mention it, as well as focusing on precautionary measures intensively, which contributed to raising the awareness of community members about these measures, and this was clearly reflected in the degree of their commitment to wear masks, and follow the procedures in homes, and when family visits.

What happened is very similar to the "school trip", where the state provided all the educational materials on how to combat the Corona virus to society, and qualified everyone for how to live with the "virus" without being infected, then came the moment of "graduation", and facing life, where gradually opened economic activities And the movement restrictions were eased so that life gradually returns to normal, but this time is different. The new nature is not like the nature before the "virus", this time there are precautionary measures that will always accompany us, and it will not be possible to live without it throughout the period of the existence of the "virus"!

Returning again to life, and starting work in different proportions, whether it is 30 or 50%, does not mean at all that we have eliminated the new Corona virus, nor does it mean complete satisfaction in the movement, movement and contact of people, but rather that the government decided to involve society in this battle, so the responsibility today Doubling on all, and the most important criteria and indicators of this responsibility is the complete care to adhere to precautionary measures without compromise, as these procedures are a red line that cannot be tolerated.

Therefore, the government has increased the penalties for violating these procedures, and there is no doubt that it will strive to intensify its control over members of society, in order to ensure their commitment to decisions and protocols for the gradual return to public life, as the government understands that the "virus" is still present, and also realizes that the return of economic activities is an absolute necessity, and focused Its efforts to create an acceptable balance between confronting "Corona" as a disease, and facing its negative repercussions on economic, security and social life, and it remains to be realized that we, as individuals in this society, are all responsible for protecting ourselves, our families and our loved ones from this "virus"!
