There is absolutely no room for a comparison between what the UAE has done and is doing to combat the spread of the Corona virus, and the actions of those countries that put the UAE on the Red List. This is not a blind defense of the country, but it is a fact that is proven by the numbers and confirmed information, so when we confirm that the UAE is one One of the best countries in the world in taking effective and continuous measures to combat the virus, this confirmation is an information, not a conclusion.
Britain, for example, is still insisting on placing the UAE in the red list of countries according to the spread of the virus, and the reason, according to British officials, is that the UAE is an international transit station, and in order to see the weakness of the British argument, a quick comparison must be taken, so that we know through it the numbers to the vast differences, And the long distance between the UAE and the UK in measures to combat the Corona virus! First of all, everyone should know that the UAE was able to mitigate the effects of the Corona epidemic better than international transit centers, including the United Kingdom. As 115 vaccine doses were provided for every 100 people in the UAE, until May 16, 2021, to be ranked second in the world, and the vaccination rate in the UAE is 40% higher than the United Kingdom (82 per 100 people)!
And to know and understand the hidden motives of the British decision, we have to know that Singapore is on the "green" British list, with 54 vaccine doses for every 100 people, and China and the Netherlands have been placed in the "orange" list that requires "infection detection tests and a home quarantine", although they have provided 28 And 40 doses per 100 people, respectively!
The UAE ranked eighth according to the Bloomberg Index to measure the resilience of countries in facing the Corona virus, thanks to the examinations and the high vaccination rate.
The British and others should know that the UAE airports and airlines apply similar safety measures or more than other international transit centers, and Dubai International Airport, which is the main transit point towards the United Kingdom from the Emirates, has received a four-star rating from Skytrax to classify the level of safety. At the airports, with regard to "Covid-19", as its classification came after only eight airports. In addition, Dubai International Airport, Abu Dhabi Airport and Sharjah Airport have obtained the accreditation of the Airports Council International Airport Health Accreditation Program. For airports for safe operation.
These measures taken are similar to what other international transit centers have done. For example, Singapore airport and Changi Airport were placed on the British "green" list, although the two airports allow flights from approved cities and through approved airlines, and they have safety procedures and certificates obtained by an airport. Dubai also, so does the reason for the crossing apply to Dubai alone and not to others, or is it a disguise to conceal other reasons that the British harbor in their minds ?!
If we take another example, which is the airlines, Emirates Airlines came in second place, and Etihad Airways ranked third in 2021, according to the travel safety measure of the “Covid-19” protocols, out of 230 airlines, while British Airways ranked 37th!
The UAE applies "Covid-19" measures to travelers more strictly than even the United Kingdom, and stops risky destinations.
These measures, and many others, made the UAE one of the most effective countries in confronting the virus, and the natural result of that was in the return of life almost naturally in the various fields and facilities of the state, as it became a tributary and assistant to many countries and international organizations to confront the virus and prevent its spread, so the decision is The British man, as it seems clear from the previous figures and information, has nothing to do with the spread of the Corona virus, and they are and we know this very well, and we know its causes and motives!
