Indoor venues, including cinemas and sports venues, will have their capacity cut by half.
Dubai’s vast shopping malls, as well as hotels, swimming pools and private beaches, must operate at 70 percent of capacity.
Penalties will be strictly imposed on anyone found posing a risk to public health by deliberately disregarding preventive measures or not observing them properly,” the Crisis and Disaster Management committee said.
Notably, hospitals in Dubai are currently flooded with coronavirus patients. The COVID-19 figures are raising day by day. According to the government’s Dubai Media House, the reason behind the spike in COVID-19 cases is “a marked increase in the number of violations of precautionary measures” set by the ruling body. Various countries are currently blaming UAE for importing coronavirus variants that are spreading faster. This may take a toll on Dubai’s travel sector, as several states have stopped flights from travelling to UAE considering the risk of further transfer of coronavirus variants.
Recently taken strict measures may help the government in effectively combating the novel coronavirus disease and ensure the health and safety of people.
