Within just two weeks, Dubai Municipality violated 137 institutions that did not adhere to measures to confront the emerging corona virus, and 820 other institutions were warned, while six institutions closed. Not only that, but municipality inspectors carried out 29,636 inspection visits, within only 14 days, which included institutions that It oversees its activities, including food establishments, cafes, fitness centers, beauty centers, salons, laundries, and other activities.

This is what happened within two weeks only, and there is no doubt that the monthly figures are rising more, and the municipality is one government agency in Dubai, whose members work day and night to monitor the degree of commitment of institutions to measures to limit the spread of the virus, in addition to three other bodies that do the same work, and monitor the situation on Around the clock, they are: Dubai Police, Department of Economic Development, and Department of Tourism, and these bodies cover all economic activities, and there are no excluded sectors, and no one is above the law, and violations are applied to everyone who is reckless and turns away from the application of precautionary measures.

The measures applied to combat the virus apply to everyone, regardless of the nationality of the offender, and the law also applies to everyone, and when the government takes its precautionary measures, and takes its vital and necessary decisions to combat the virus, decisions are made for everyone in a uniform manner, and there is no law regarding combating Corona virus For citizens, and another for residents, everyone is responsible, and everyone is interested in cooperating with the government to overcome this crisis, because everyone is at risk of contracting the virus, and because the virus does not differentiate in transmission and spread quickly between a private party held by foreigners or a happy occasion for a citizen, so everyone who disagrees with him should bear responsibility !

Therefore, it does not make sense at all to repeat words such as: “Why do you talk about citizens, and do not talk about foreigners’ violations? ”This sterile debate has no meaning, because the violations affect everyone, and the numbers and types of violations, and the groups that have been violated, prove that, then the pretext of behaviors A mistake that some foreigners conduct is not a standard for us in order not to adhere to and follow government procedures, but on the contrary completely, the citizen has a double responsibility, as he is the son of the country, and there is no doubt that his country cares about him more than anything else, or another being, and when the competent authorities urge citizens Directly, and the speech focused on them more than others, this is evidence of excessive concern for them, and fear of being exposed to any danger threatening their health and safety, as they are the most valuable possession of the government, and for their sake they make huge efforts around the clock, and this does not mean that they are accused only of others. One of the officials ever meant that .. Is it possible that this caution would be met with inappropriate words and tweets, in which there was a lot of provocation to the executives ?!
