Yes. Disruption is still going on, with people having been offered re-bookings several days hence. While flights have been departing, many have been less than half full because of two check in suspension periods for passengers transiting DXB., Estimates are in 6 figures of the number of passengers adversely affected.
Emirates have done a very good job of keeping both a PR lid, and probably a heavy-handed legal lid on reporting of the ongoing disruption.
