Dubai shuts down crowded Satwa restaurant

The Commercial Compliance & Consumer Protection (CCCP) Sector in Dubai Economy is continuing with its field inspections to ensure that all companies, merchants, consumers and the public adhere to the various precautionary measures and protocols announced in the emirate.

The daily inspection visits by CCCP cover all areas in Dubai, including open markets and commercial centres. Inspections conducted this week showed that 578 stores fully complied with the precautionary measures and guidelines.

Dubai Economy has earlier stated that any excesses or non-compliance that pose a risk or harm in any way will be dealt with firmly and in accordance with the laid-down procedures.

A restaurant in Satwa was ordered closed by CCCP, after their distribution of free meals led to passers-by gathering in front of the store, disregarding physical distancing guidelines and causing congestion.

In another incident, Dubai Economy, in cooperation with the Dubai Sports Council, imposed a fine on a fitness centre, for not adhering to physical distancing, especially at their reception, and employees’ lack of commitment to wearing masks.
