712 Dubai businesses fully adhere to anti-Covid measures

Dubai - One retail store fined as its employees weren't wearing masks

A total of 712 shops and commercial establishments were found to have fully complied with the anti-Covid measures during inspections carried out by Dubai Economy on Sunday. A retail store in one of the shopping centres was fined as its employees weren't wearing masks.

Field inspectors from the Commercial Compliance & Consumer Protection (CCCP) Sector in Dubai Economy continued their visits to a number of open markets and shopping centres across the emirate as part of their continuing inspections to verify compliance with the precautionary measures.

Stressing that public health is a top priority, Dubai Economy reminded that stern action will be taken against any non-compliance with the anti-Covid measures found during its inspections or that may be reported by consumers and the public. The disciplinary action is meant to be a deterrent against any violation or abuse, it pointed out.

Dubai Economy urged everyone to cooperate and contribute to keeping the emirate’s economy moving forward in spite of the pandemic threat. The precautionary measures have seen a gradual return to normal and safe economic activities in Dubai, leading to the opening of all sectors and the economic reset.

Dubai Economy also called on people to report any non-compliance of the precautionary guidelines through the Dubai Consumer app available on the Apple, Google, and Huawei stores, by calling 600545555, or by visiting the Consumerrights.ae website.
