Dubai declares remote work for govt. staff, private sector urged to follow suit

Dubai has declared remote working for all government entities on Friday, December 19, due to the unstable weather forecast across the country, with the private sector urged to do the same.

The directive was issued by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai's Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, to "ensure everyone's safety".

"The decision applies to all Dubai government employees, except for roles that require on-site presence at the workplace," Sheikh Hamdan tweeted.
