Conferences and concerts allowed returning in Dubai

Capacity and social distancing regulations must be enforced at these events upon their return.

Dubai concerts and live events are able to resume for the first time since closing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, said a new government directive.

However, strict health and safety measures must be observed, including full santisation and thermal screening of everyone entering the event, Time Out Dubai reported.

All concerts, live business events, conferences and MICE events are permitted, but capacity and social distancing regulations must be enforced, said the mandate, which is dated 3 August.

At seated events there must be a minimum of two metres social distancing – meaning one person per four square metres.

Online ticket purchasing is encouraged, while social distancing markers must be displayed on floors at box offices for queues.

There should be a staggered time system for access, while staff and ushers must wear masks at all times.
