Four public parks in Al Ain have been given the green-light to reopen as part of a phased plan to ease Covid-19 restrictions at leisure spots. Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport revealed Al Waqin Park, Al Shuwaib Park, Al Basra Ladies’ Park and Al Aamerah Park can now welcome back visitors. Parks and beaches across the Emirates were closed to the public in March to stem the spread of coronavirus. Authorities have gradually resumed operations at many attractions in the months since, with safety measures in place. In July, nine public parks in Abu Dhabi were granted approval to reopen at 40 per cent capacity. Officials said thermal cameras would be placed at entrances to check the temperature of the visitors. A maximum of five people were allowed per group and all must wear face masks.
