Shoppers at Dubai Mall told gloves will be required and also masks from Saturday
09 May, 2020
Shoppers at the Dubai Mall have been told they will need to wear gloves from Saturday.
Staff at the mall, in Downtown Dubai, said new measures will be introduced which makes it mandatory because of its customers to wear gloves when visiting. Previously, customers were only required to wear a mask while shopping.
The National was informed of the new measures when entering the mall on Friday by Emaar staff, who warned that from Saturday, May 9, gloves would also be needed.
It is part of ongoing safety precautions being taken at the mall to stem the spread of Covid-19. Already, all shoppers visiting the mall must have their temperature scanned before entering. Automatic heat sensor cameras are also functioning.
Each store also offers a notice informing shoppers of the utmost number of men and women allowed inside at any moment.
Much like other malls across Dubai, all entertainment venues, including cinemas, remain closed, alongside prayer rooms and fitness centres. Valet parking is also currently unavailable.
Malls reopened across Dubai at the end of April, although they are just allowed to operate at a 30 % capacity. The same rules make an application for restaurants within malls.
The Dubai Mall is open daily from 12pm to 10pm, although guests will be motivate to leave by 9pm so they can get home prior to the start of ongoing National Sterilisation Programme.
