A social distance of four metres must be maintained between persons.
Wedding tents can also be organised with a capacity of no more than 200 people. Organisers must ensure that all Covid precautionary measures are applied and social distancing is observed.
The guidelines came as authorities in Sharjah updated Covid safety protocols in the emirate on Sunday.
According to the revised protocols, only vaccinated guests or those presenting a green pass on the AlHosn application are permitted to attend such events.
