Lockdown In Dubai

[ukanonymous]

So if they don't have a lockdown in Dubai but are all fine why does the uk need one? It really downs make sense and all the people I know are going to dubai for a beach holiday. It makes no sense.

[ummmm]

Have you got a link?

[Smowball]

Do they not have it at all??

[ukanonymous]

You can go to the beaches, eat in resteraunts and bars. So no not really. Its crazy. But thats why all the rich and famous people are going there.

[ummmm]

Parts of Oz are the same. Stricter rules from day 1

A thought dubai did have issues but if not presumebly theres so few infections there and there successfully pretty much stopping infected people coming in So they dont need a similar lockdown. And they dont have pubs anyway so that helps as does climate

[DTCwordfan]

Of course they have pubs in the Emirates - they aren't Wahibis or Shiites. There's the 'DoubleDecker' and 'McGettigans' for example - and all the hotels are 'wet'.

Oh dear cases quadrupled in last 6 weeks due to tourists.

Yes dtc but a never saw gangs of drunks roaming the streets looking for kebabs at midnight

[DTCwordfan]

that's a different statement - I've seen some pretty *** Saudis in the bars, more in Bahrain though!

pished....!

[bobbinwales]

Anyway that was an aside. Basically they were doing well but have had to start restricting so hotels limited to 70% for example. So...no need for lockdown anything like our's yet but infection's are still rising so there going to keep tightning

[riptide]

Strange, because they announced on the news last week they were closing all bars and restaurants due to covid, so they are having problems as well.
