A limited number of copies of the Holy Quran will return on the condition mosques undergo sterilization after each prayer, the authority announced Friday.
The distance of one meter between worshipers in mosques and other places of worship will continue to be maintained, NCEMA said.
The authority also recommends the necessity of following the requirements of examinations and vaccinations for the countries and destinations to which one wants to travel from the UAE.
The wearing of face masks in open space has been made optional in the UAE, the National Authority for Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management (NCEMA) announced Friday. However, masks will continue to remain mandatory in closed areas.
The rules apply across the UAE, starting Feb 26, as part of the country's ease of restrictions.
