Al Zaabi added, cautioning that distributing Iftar meals is banned both inside and in front of restaurants, with distribution limited to residential labor complexes only, in coordination between restaurants and the management at these facilities. Furthermore, selling at restaurants will be restricted to regular meals, while strict precautionary and preventive measures are followed, including mandatory wearing of masks and gloves by service providers.<\/p>\n<p>Gatherings are not allowed before or after receiving Iftar meals, and a safe distance of at least two meters should be maintained between people, who must also wear protective masks at all times.<\/p>\n<p>H.E.
