As the Coronavirus of the UAE Caseload daily skyrocketed by multiples of 37 in just three weeks after the arrival of the Omicron variant, Expo 2020 Dubai said that the Covid-19 outbreak among staff could force several parts of the exhibition to “close temporarily”

The multibilion world exhibition in Dubai has warned that some places in the location can be turned off as Coronavirus cases quickly rise in the United Arab Emirates.

Expo 2020 Dubai said that the virus outbreak between staff could force several parts of the exhibition to “close temporarily for deep cleaning and sanitation,” without outlining the scope or location of the infection.

The burden of the UAE daily virus has skyrocketed by multiples of 37 only in the last three weeks after the arrival of the Omicron variant.

Unclear statements from the Media Office managed by the Dubai government on Monday underlined the frightening challenges of hosting among the first big old events in the world in the middle of a pandemic who was still raging. The exhibition opened in October after a one-year delay when the UAE bet that the launch of a quick vaccine would allow its economy to avoid closing that paralyzed most of the West.

Expo tries to enforce a variety of virus prevention measures, with mandatory face masks in the Fairgrounds and vaccination certificates or negative virus tests recently needed to enter. But the omicron variant is highly transplanted, which is considered to avoid immunity from vaccination, raises new tests.

With the Dubai winter tourism season in full swing, the world exhibition has vaulted into the spotlight. Millions of tourists from all over the world flock to broad sites packed with a number of national pavilions, restaurants, shops, and performance phase. The Christmas Parade draws the crowds last week and Expo is now preparing for a great concert to attract party audience on New Year’s Eve.

New year’s night bash last year in Dubai helped push a drastic surge in cases of viruses in Emirates when tourists escaped from locking at home. The infection is now floating below the height but climbs quickly. The daily infection toll exceeds 1,840 on Tuesday, the highest in six months.

The more conservative Abu Dhabi capital on Tuesday increases the virus examination on the highway from Dubai to ensure that all vaccinated drivers have also been tested negatively in the past two weeks. The city limits home parties in 30 people and outdoor events in this 150 weeks.

Emirati authorities have reported several daily hospitalizations and deaths among almost 10 million UAE people, where more than 90% are fully vaccinated.
