Dubai: Despite Dubai community members complying with precautionary measures to stop the spread of COVID-19, private gatherings and parties at homes and weddings are still the major reasons behind the recent spike in the number of positive cases, the chief of Dubai Police has observed.
On Friday, Dubai’s Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management issued new rules for gatherings at social events — including weddings and private parties. The committee said that a maximum of ten people would be allowed to gather for social events and all attendees must be limited to first-degree relatives only. The mandate applies to gatherings at hotels as well as at homes.
