This is a result of the forward-looking vision of our wise leadership, and the proactive approach taken by government entities and the concerted efforts among them. The National Crisis Management Strategy was a great model in protecting the community’s health, which is in parallel with ensuring the continuity of economic life while applying the highest standards of safety and prevention,” Al Suwaidi concluded.
