OPN 210525 EDIT — VACCINATION DRIVE IN DUBAI SCHOOLS A MAJOR CONFIDENCE-BOOSTER: As schools in Dubai have started the vaccination drive for students in the 12-16 year age-group, it is yet another instance of how the emirate and the UAE in general have ramped up their efforts to ensure a safety-net for residents to fight COVID-19. Whether it is conducting RT-PCR tests or implementing travel restrictions or executing a nationwide vaccination drive, Dubai and the UAE have stayed ahead of the game right from the time the World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 a pandemic in March 2020. Introducing vaccination drives in schools is yet another instance of how Dubai and the UAE have made all residents feel safe even as the rest of the world grapples with a humongous crisis.

Lohan’s highs and lows in Hollywood have played out in the press much like a Greek tragedy. A gifted child artist, who grows up to be a beautiful young woman that the camera loves. However, the high life, corresponding substance abuse and family in-fighting results in the young actress being lynched by the paparazzi and several rehab stints later, finds herself licking her wounds and healing in Dubai. Now, years later, Lohan is ready to reclaim her fame and we can only wish her success. [COMMENT BY: Bindu Rai, Entertainment Editor] Image Credit:
