Government agencies and educational institutions will observe Monday, February 12, as a day of remote work and study, even though private businesses and educational institutions are free to choose this choice.

All federal government workers will have a remote work day on February 12th, according to a Sunday announcement from the UAE Cabinet. Those whose jobs need them to be physically present at work are not covered in the decision. It was announced on Saturday that all government employees in Dubai will work remotely on Monday, February 12. The decision originated from Dubai's Crown Prince and Executive Council Chairman, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

The Ministry of Education declared on Sunday, that starting on Monday, February 12, all federal institutes of higher learning will switch to remote instruction.

Due to the unpredictable weather on Monday, February 12, private schools, nurseries, and colleges in Dubai are advising their clients to be flexible with their policies about in-person student attendance and to use distance learning as a last resort. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority, Dubai's education watchdog, sent a statement to this effect on X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend.
