The UAE’s business community is extending further support to the country in the fight against COVID-19.
Donations worth AED 13 million have been announced by the Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group for the healthcare sector and schools.
An amount of AED 3 million will be spent on implementing the distance learning initiative in public and non-profit schools in Dubai, while AED 13 million will go towards the Dubai Health Authority’s (DHA) preventive measures against the virus.
Meanwhile, tenants of residential buildings owned by the company have been handed the option of postponing their rent payment for three months.
