The public has been also warned against inciting others not to follow precautionary measures, or making fun of them.
In a statement issued on Monday, the Federal Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Prosecution said: “It was recently noticed that some COVID-19 infected users are publishing and sharing visual materials and audio recordings, on social media platforms accompanied by lyrical clips and comments, calling for non-compliance with precautionary measures, and making fun of them. This affects the ongoing efforts being made by the UAE to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. We call on all members of society to avoid these behaviors, which are punishable by law.
