What the sources establish

The National names the federal human resources authority and the labour ministry in its account. The standing government calendar lists December 2 and 3. The additional day and reopening date are attributed to The National’s report; no separate circular verifying them was available. The timestamp is the publication minute of that report, and the marker represents the UAE.
