\nRas Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development Outlines Requirements for Reopening Sports Halls in the Emirate<\/p>\n
\u00b7 The Department seeks to ensure business continuity and maintain high standards of public health and safety<\/p>\n
In a circular issued yesterday, Ras Al Khaimah Department of Economic Development (RAKDED) has outlined a set of requirements and procedures for reopening sports halls in the Emirate, in line with the precautions set out to curb the spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19).<\/p>\n
The new procedures aim to ensure public health and safety in the Emirate, as well as business continuity, which serves to maintain Ras Al Khaimah\u2019s sustainable development. Commercial institutions may resume their economic activities as of tomorrow (Wednesday, June 24, 2020), provided they meet the conditions and procedures outlined in the circular.<\/p>\n
Key Precautionary Measures<\/p>\n
The circular cautioned that facilities are allowed to be occupied at 50% of their capacity, taking social distancing measures into consideration, especially at the reception area. Customers are encouraged to pre-book their sessions and buy tickets online to avoid physical contact. Events and celebrations are not allowed in the facilities, and seating and waiting areas should be closed.<\/p>\n
Health and Safety<\/p>\n
The circular calls on all sports halls to test their workers for COVID-19; facilities will not be permitted to re-open unless they meet this prerequisite and obtain test results of all employees from the relevant authorities. Facilities must take the temperature of all employees and customers at the entrance, barring any individual showing symptoms of the disease or having a fever exceeding 38 degrees Celsius from entering the premises.<\/p>\n
Employees must wear protective masks and gloves at all times, while sanitisation stations should be set up around the facility and at entrances and exits. The entire facility needs to be fully sanitised every day. Customers are required to wear protective masks at all times and violators are prohibited from entering the facility.<\/p>\n
