3 Fujairah beauty salons shut down for flouting coronavirus safety rules

Fujairah - 'Some outlets turn deaf ears to repeated circulars posing a risk to public safety and health'

Three beauty salons have been shut down by the civic body in Dibba Al Fujairah for not complying with the mandatory preventive measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic.
Hassan Salem Al Yamahi, director-general of Dibba Al Fujairah Municipality, said the inspection teams caught the three beauty salons flouting the guidelines during surprise raids.
"These salons did not observe the rules of physical distancing, while some of their staff were not wearing masks and hand gloves."
Earlier, the municipality distributed a number of circulars to all establishments and outlets to curb any potential infection or transmission of Covid-19, he added.
"Some outlets turn deaf ears to repeated circulars posing a risk to public safety and health."
Last week, the staff inspectors ordered closure of three pharmacies for exploiting customers and unreasonably increasing the price of hand sanitisers.
Erring institutions shall be penalised and dealt with zero tolerance, he warned.
"More inspection campaigns will be carried out round-the-clock to ensure adherence to prescribed rules and preventive measures."
Al Yamahi asked the public to report violations to the civic body to stop illegal practices and take legal action against the violators.
"The Fujairah Municipality emergency number is 092443399 and can be reached 24X7."
Complaints can also be reported to the call centre on toll free number 80036. You may report complaints via the municipality app 'smartFUJAIRAH' as well.
