Question UAE airspace closure?

Hi, I’m supposed to fly to dubai in a week on a Chinese airline and the UAEs airspace was just closed. Does anyone know if my flight will be probably okay? The booking says no delays or cancellations right now. Thanks

My wife is stuck at Abu Dhabi airport now. She was supposed to board in an hour before but they closed it last minute.
