Jogging and cycling tracks in Dubai will be closed from 8pm to 6am starting this evening.

That’s according to the Roads and Transport Authority, who said that the decision was made in line with the national sterilisation programme hours.

Earlier this week, it was announced that the disinfection timings would be extended by two hours, starting at 8pm instead of 10pm.

Starting today Wednesday, May 20th and in line with the National Sterilisation Programme hours, jogging, and cycling tracks will be closed from 8 PM until 6 AM the following day. #RTA #We_Are_All_Responsible #Dubai
