Abu Dhabi emirate, the second-most populous in the United Arab Emirates, will on Thursday end a partial lockdown imposed last month as part of efforts to prevent the spread of Covid-19 variants, the government's media office said in a Twitter post.
It cited the Abu Dhabi Emergency Crisis and Disasters Committee as saying restrictions on the movement of traffic and the public from midnight until 5 a.m. are ending after achieving their objective.
The UAE, a federation of seven emirates, has seen daily coronavirus infections fall to 1,089 cases on Wednesday from around 2,000 in June and a peak of nearly 4,000 in January.
It does not give a breakdown for each emirate.
The Gulf state, a regional tourism and business hub, has among the world's highest immunisation rates with the latest health ministry data showing 83.14% of the population receiving one Covid-19 vaccine dose and 73.42% fully vaccinated.
The UAE, which has approved five types of Covid-19 vaccines, said earlier this month it would start providing a booster shot to all fully vaccinated individuals.
