Dubai has taken another big decision to allow private sector businesses and shopping malls in the Emirate to operate at 100 per cent from tomorrow, June 3.
Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai, shopping malls and private sector business in Dubai will operate at 100 per cent from Wednesday.
This was announced by Dubai’s Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management.
Last month Dubai allowed government offices to function at full, 100 per cent of their capacity.
The decision was announced on Twitter by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and chairman of the Executive Council.
“Under the directives of @HHShkMohd, today we approved a decision that allows 50% of Dubai government employees to resume work at offices from Sunday, May 31, and 100% from June 14, 2020, as we continue our gradual return to normal life with intensified precautionary measures,” he said.
Sheikh Hamdan said the decision comes as the emirate’s wise investment in preparing for the future has paid off earlier than expected. “Our investments in the future paid off sooner than expected. It is reassuring to know we’re heading in the right direction. Now, we’re encouraged to redouble efforts, to accelerate our digital transformation for Dubai to become a model smart city, forever exceeding expectations,” Sheikh Hamdan said.
“In the past months, the Dubai government has proven its full capability to work remotely, within smart environments that rely on highly efficient technologies & infrastructure. None of the vital services were affected despite the precautionary measures and movement restrictions imposed,” the Dubai Crown Prince added.
The Crown Prince affirmed that all precautionary measures will be stringently implemented and closely monitored to ensure compliance.
He explained that the decision is consistent with the Government of Dubai’s measured approach to protecting the health and safety of citizens and residents and reopening the economy. The Government is committed to supporting economic sectors and those impacted by the repercussions of the global crisis.
“Dubai’s highly efficient technology infrastructure has set an example for the world in managing crisis and finding innovative solutions for supporting the economy and protecting the community.”
Sheikh Hamdan stressed that all government entities in Dubai must be fully committed to enforcing precautionary measures to protect the wellbeing of employees and customers.
