With the UAE relaxing its Covid safety rules, the Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) - Abu Dhabi has updated precautionary measures at hotel and tourism establishments, events, and cultural and leisure venues.
The new measures are effective immediately, the authority said in a circular sent to owners and managers of such venues.
"Please note that the above-mentioned establishments will be checked by DCT Abu Dhabi's inspectors to verify compliance," the authority said. "We hope that you will comply … to avoid legal measures."
