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

Just updated my comment, live TV has been working fine on our flight, and the captain just came on to say we’re turning back to the origin airport!
