The Roads and Transport Authority in Dubai, (RTA) announced on late Friday night that public parking will continue to remain free for Dubai residents throughout the nationwide 24-hour curfew.

Initially, the free parking facility for Dubai residents was only announced for two weeks and was set to send by April 13, but has been extended for the duration of the sterilisation drive as part of COVID-19 relief measures for residents.

The sterilisation drive will be ongoing for an unknown amount of time, as a preventive means to flatten the COVID-19 curve in the country
