Dubai has issued fines to 8 establishments for not adhering to COVID-19 guidelines.  

The Dubai Media office tweeted, “Dubai Economy warns 6 establishments and fines 8 others over the past 24 hours for not adhering to the precautionary measures set to limit COVID-19.”

Dubai has been clamping down on activities barred due to coronavirus.

The authorities have issued fines up to Dhs50,000 to multiple entities for breaking COVID-19 rules.

Last week, Dubai Police fined two yacht operators, desert camp organizers and a private party organizer for COVID-19 violations.  

The health experts have issued rules and regulation for holding social gatherings in the UAE.

The officials said people should not hold social gathering of more than 4 people without facemasks.

Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, Lt Gen Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, in January urged everyone to follow the precautionary measures and social distancing guidelines to curb the spread of the virus.

The authorities have urged everyone to report any violation of COVID-19 guidelines with the police or the Dubai Consumer Application.
