Guidelines issued for reopening Abu Dhabi restaurants

By Zeena Zalamea

Abu Dhabi’s restaurants could reopen soon.

That’s after the capital’s Department of Economic Development instructed them to coordinate with authorities about resuming operations while protecting diners.

Outlets are urged to offer cashless payment options, provide hand sanitisers and ensure that staff and customers wear masks and gloves.

Staff who show symptoms of infection will not be allowed to enter the outlet, and serving ‘shisha’ will remain prohibited.
