DUBAI — Dubai will allow gyms, cinemas and other businesses to reopen starting on Wednesday May 27, according to a statement issued by Dubai Media Office on Monday. Business will be allowed to operate between the hours of 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. but must comply with strict precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The announcement came after a virtual meeting of Dubai's Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management, headed by Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, to evaluate the current health, economic and social situations the emirate faces. The committee made the decision to allow businesses to resume operations without compromising strict precautionary and preventative measures implemented. All individuals will still be required to wear face masks as well as maintain social distancing requirements of no less than two meters while in public. — Al Arabiya English
