All social distancing norms have been scrapped in ‘economic’ and places of tourism, the National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) said Friday. However, mask-wearing in closed places continues to remain mandatory.

The NCEMA, however, has stressed the continuity of following the Green Pass requirement on the Al Hosn App, or presenting a negative PCR test result of no more than 96 hours to attend all local events, exhibitions, activities, cultural and social activities.
