JEDDAH — Teams of the Obhur branch municipality closed down 16 restaurants within their jurisdiction for various offenses. The inspection teams found that workers did not abide by the regulations that require them to wear gloves, facemasks and head covering. Foodstuffs were stored inappropriately and some of it was of dubious origin. Cleanliness was lacking, and garbage was piling up and not removed. The restaurants will remain closed until all these violations are corrected.
