The UAE had resumed congregation prayers at mosques on July 1 with reduced capacity, but Friday prayers had remained suspended.

Worshippers must wear face masks during the prayers and they must bring their own prayer mats. The elderly and those with weakened immunity are advised avoid going to the mosques.
