World’s fair ‘an opportunity for the world to gain sense of normality’
UN official Dena Assaf has said she hopes the world’s fair will be a “catalyst for hope” for humanity as countries host big events once again.
In an interview with The National, Ms Assaf, the UN’s resident co-ordinator in the UAE, said masks, testing and vaccine requirements would make for a safe spectacle.
Expo 2020 Dubai will be the largest global gathering since the start of the pandemic, with a projected 25 million visitors expected to attend over six months.
All who attend must provide proof of vaccination or a recent negative PCR test.
