Dubai Cinemas Gyms Business Activities And Entertainment Centres To Reopen From Wednesday
The most-anticipated COVID-19 move by the Dubai government was finally announced on Monday evening, May 25.
In accordance with an announcement made by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, business activities in the emirate will gradually reopen from Wednesday, May 27.
In the same virtual meeting, the Crown Prince further clarified that there will be NO movement restrictions in the city between 6am and 11pm each day. This means that the current 8pm-6am nightly curfew has been pushed to 11pm-6am.
The reopening of business activities also includes the following:
- Cinemas (with the implementation of social distancing and round-the-clock sterilisation)
- Gyms and fitness centres
- Educational and training institutes
- Therapy centres for children
- Entertainment destinations (e.g. the Dubai Mall ice rink and dolphinariums)
- All government service centres (e.g. Amer)
*Please note that strict guidelines still apply and children under the age of 12 will not be permitted to enter.
Sheikh Hamdan further added that these new measures will allow people to adapt to the current situation affected by COVID-19 without disrupting operations in vital sectors and impacting businesses in a severe way
