CLOSURES Continue: Busy Restaurants Shut For Ignoring COVID-19 Rules<\/em><\/p>\n

On May 17, the city let out a small sigh of relief.<\/p>\n

Dubai\u2019s Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management announced revised COVID-19 precautionary rules for the entertainment industry; the number of people per table increased at restaurants and cafes, events were given the go-ahead and hotels increased occupancy to 100%.<\/p>\n

Since then, the city has opened up, but as we see a clear rise in COVID cases in the last number of days, and authorities are working hard to make sure people follow the rules, it’s worth looking back at what’s allowed, and what’s not.<\/p>\n

Observing two-meter social distance guidelines is mandatory, face masks must be worn and there are still occupancy limitations.<\/p>\n

2 closures: In one week, 23 venues were found to be non-compliant and 2 venues were closed<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

List of revised regulations:<\/h2>\n

1. Restos being able to seat\u00a010 persons per table<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Coffee shops to now allow\u00a06 per table\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Indoor events to allow\u00a01,500 attendees\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Outdoor events to allow\u00a02,500 attendees\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Entertainment venues can have increased capacity of\u00a070%\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. Occupancy ceiling of hotels raised to\u00a0100%<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. Attendance at wedding events at\u00a0homes<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0capped at 30<\/strong>, with compliance to COVID-19 regulations<\/p>\n
