The decision is part of the gradual reopening of economic activities in the emirate and efforts to restore normalcy, while ensuring precautionary measures are strictly enforced to protect the safety and wellbeing of employees, visitors and customers at shopping malls and companies.
The new move aims to ensure the private sector is able to resume normal activity without compromising on preventive steps to protect people’s health and safety.
As restrictions began to ease over the past few weeks, all individuals and businesses have been required to adhere to preventative measures, including maintaining social distancing and wearing face masks, to avoid any further spread of the virus.

Mandatory measures include frequently sterilising all facilities and common areas in malls, providing sanitisers across the mall and its entrances, and screening people's temperature at entrances to identify suspected cases and take necessary measures.
Posters with safety protocols across shopping centres and security guards on duty ensured residents maintained a safe social distance of two metres from one another.
Mall and business operating hours must fall within the permitted movement timings between 6am and 11pm. All shopping malls are required to provide a dedicated room to isolate suspected cases in accordance with protocols.
Visitors to the malls must adhere to the UAE's health and safety rules, including the requirement that masks are worn at all time.
Inspections will be held to ensure full adherence to guidelines. Both members of the public and shopping malls will face fines if they violate guidelines.
