The restrictions, which aim to check the spread of the coronavirus, include a ban on entering and exiting the emirate of Abu Dhabi as a whole, it said on Twitter.
The city of Abu Dhabi is also the capital of the seven-member federation.
The other cities of the oil-rich emirate of Abu Dhabi mentioned by the announcement are Al-Ain and Al-Dhafra.
Movement within these cities is allowed as long as a night curfew, already in force, is observed.
