New rules for food establishments
Yesterday, Dubai Municipality called on food establishments in Dubai to comply with a number of directives in order to further reduce the spread of coronavirus.
Following the move to close entertainment facilities and gyms as well as pub, bars and lounges until the end of the month, new rules from Food Safety Department will be implemented until further notice.
Health & Safety department has released the following eight pointers and highlighted that regular and frequent inspections will be conducted to ensure the compliance.

- Clean and disinfect of used tables after customer departure immediately
- Do not allow entry of any customers or employees with flu symptoms
