Covid is far from under control in the uae. The amount of people running around, coughing and having flu like symptoms is very prevalent.
what dubai does have under control is information suppression by under reporting cases, in a bid to minimize the impact on the economy.
if anything with the amount of employees, from laborers to cleaners, restaurant staff and even hotel staff having to share transport, accommodation and even bathrooms , you don’t have to think about it twice that dubai is not reporting the actual amount of cases
