while a news is being spread on social media in the name of Gulf News that the ban imposed on travel can be extended till December 31. On Monday, Gulf News rubbished the claims, saying the travel restrictions are in place till August 7 and not December 31. Travel industry sources said the ban could extend till August 31 as some flights scheduled between August 7 and August 12 have already been cancelled.

nationals, diplomatic missions, official delegations and holders of the Golden Visa have been exempted from entering the UAE.
