A Pregnant Woman Is Documenting Her Safe Return And Immediate Quarantine In The UAE
A Pregnant Woman Just Documented Her Safe Return To The UAE.
When the UAE took the crucial decision to restrict entry to the country, to fight the spread of COVID-19, it meant thousands of residents were stranded outside of the UAE.
A platform was quickly built, where residents with a Valid Emirates ID could claim re-entry, but for urgent cases like Hannah O’ Reilly, who was six months pregnant and in the US when the travel restrictions came into play, she needed approval for re-entry fast.
Now, following approval for a safe return to the UAE, Hannah documented the journey and her current quarantine. And it gives you some idea as to the measures the UAE are taking to safeguard all resident’s health.
