A service center in Dubai was shut down on Thursday on the first day if its operation after the opening ceremony led to overcrowding.
The action against the center was taken after field inspectors from Dubai Economy, the retail regulator in the emirate, found it flouting coronavirus guidelines to prevent the spread of coronavirus, WAM reported on Friday.
Dubai Economy directed all businesses in Dubai to avoid holding such events that might lead to overcrowding, warning that violators will be issued with fines and closure orders.
Dubai Economy also warned 10 shops in shopping malls during the inspections on Thursday for not placing physical distancing stickers. Overall, inspections on Thursday found that 581 shops and commercial establishments fully complied with the precautionary measures.
Stressing that public health is a top priority, Dubai Economy also reminded that stern action will be taken against any non-compliance with the precautionary measures found during its inspections or that may be reported by consumers and the public. The disciplinary action is meant to be a deterrent against any violation or abuse.
Dubai Economy called on everyone to cooperate and contribute to keeping the emirate’s economy moving forward in spite of the pandemic threat. The precautionary measures have seen a gradual return to normal and safe economic activities in Dubai, leading to the opening of all sectors and the economic reset.
