Shisha services back at Fujairah cafes with Covid safety rules
Fujairah - The authorities are stepping up inspections to ensure full compliance with precautionary measures.
Cafes across Fujairah are now allowed to offer shisha, the emirare’s emergency, crisis and disaster management team (ECDMT) has announced. The decision’s implementation begins today, January 4.
Major-General Mohamed Ahmed bin Ghanem Al Kabbi, Commander-in-Chief of the Fujairah Police and chairman of ECDMT, said the resumption of shisha services comes in light of the gradual return of various activities that had been suspended because of the pandemic.
On Sunday, Abu Dhabi also announced the return of shishas at all licensed facilities after months of suspension.
Maj-Gen Al Kabbi emphasised that all Covid-19 safety measures must be followed in providing the service. Staff and customers must wear their face masks at all times. Only disposable shisha hoses must be used. A two-metre distance must be maintained across the establishment, and all surfaces and common areas must be sanitised regularly.
Temperature checks remain mandatory and anyone with a temperature of over 37.5 degrees will not be allowed entry. A cafe will temporarily be closed if any of its staff tests positive for Covid-19. They will be permitted to return to business only after completing the quarantine period and after obtaining a clearance certificate.
Maj-Gen Al Kabbi added that they will be stepping up inspections of shisha cafes starting today to ensure that all service providers are compliant with precautionary measures.
An official from the Fujairah Municipality said inspection teams would be working in two shifts to ensure full adherence to Covid rules.
