Emirates Post has issued a commemorative stamp to honour workers on the front lines of the UAE's fight against Covid-19. The souvenir stamp shows a line drawing of medics, scientists, police officers, municipality workers, delivery drivers and firefighters against a backdrop of Burj Khalifa in Dubai and Aldar headquarters in Abu Dhabi. The proceeds from the sale of these stamps will be donated to Emirates Red Crescent and will support Emirates Post staff working during the pandemic.
"This souvenir stamp sheet is but a small step towards repaying the immense debt of gratitude we owe these heroes and a way in which the public can also support," said Abdulla Al Ashram, acting group chief executive of Emirates Post.
"On behalf of everyone at Emirates Post, we extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to all our healthcare professionals, to those working in the vital sectors and to the volunteers for their dedication and resilience."
The launch of the souvenir sheet comes in line with the campaign, #ThankYouHeroes, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. This initiative pays tribute to those containing the spread of the virus and providing essential services.
