Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that the free parking measures announced at the end of last month, are extended until the completion of the National Disinfection Programme. Originally put in place for a two week, free parking throughout Dubai was due to come to an end on 13 April, however the extension has been made to run the full duration of the 24 hour sterilisation programme where residents are required to stay home and only leave once a permit has been approved.
