ABU DHABI, May 2 (NNN-WAM) – Yas Mall, on Yas Island, and Al Jimi Mall, in Al Ain, will be the first in the emirate to reopen – but with measures in place, to protect shoppers from the spread of Covid-19.
Opening hours during Ramadan will be 12.00 pm to 9.00 pm, to avoid overlapping with disinfection hours that last from 10.00 pm to 6.00 am. Supermarkets and pharmacies – which can be visited in cases of absolute necessity during the disinfection period – will open from 9.00 am to midnight.
“Malls will operate at a limited customer capacity of 30 percent, reduced parking space and revised food and beverage operations,” said Aldar Properties, which manages the two malls.
Anyone aged over 60 will not be granted entry, and all visitors will be required to pass through a thermal scanner, set up at the entrance. Guests and staff will be required to wear mask and gloves at all times.
Paramedics and nurses will remain on-site, throughout mall opening hours.
