Dubai police allowed local restaurants to resume selling alcohol.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Licensed restaurants in Dubai will be able to resume selling alcoholic beverages after the end of the Holy month of Ramadan, that is, from may 23 or 24, 2020, the Dubai police said.
It is noted that drinks will be served only on tables, visitors can not be at the bar, even if it is part of the restaurant premises.
In addition, alcohol will be served subject to food orders and only in plastic disposable glasses. It is worth Recalling that restaurants in the United Arab Emirates were closed in March 2020 due to an outbreak of coronavirus.
At the end of April 2020, restaurants were allowed to open subject to COVID-19 prevention measures, such as social distance, the use of disposable dishes and appliances, and the admission of no more than 30% of the total capacity of visitors to the premises.
It is also worth noting that Dubai hotels have opened access to the beach for their guests. In this regard, some hotels have started selling rooms on an hourly basis to provide guests with access to the beach and at the same time circumvent the prohibitions of the authorities.
In response, the Department of tourism and commercial marketing clarified that access to the beach is allowed only to those who rent a hotel room for a day or more, because after a short stay of guests, the hotel staff does not have time to carry out disinfection work.
Curiously, in the Northern Emirates, hotels opened access to the beach, as well as to the pools a couple of weeks ago, which caused an outflow of residents of Dubai for the weekend in Ajman, RAS al-Khaimah and Fujairah.
In accordance with government directives, all hotel guests are subject to a temperature measurement procedure at the entrance, are required to maintain a safe distance throughout their stay, including on the beach and in the water, and wear masks in all public places.
