A total of 1,030 hotel rooms across Abu Dhabi are housing doctors, nurses, medical professionals and frontline support staff.

They’ve lent the rooms as part of an initiative by Ma’an, an organisation aimed at increasing social participation in the capital.

The group’s ‘Together We Are Good’ programme gives companies the opportunity to help out financially or in kind as the community deals with COVID-19.
