The Commercial Compliance & Consumer Protection (CCCP) Sector in Dubai Economy imposed fined 49 restaurants, cafes for allowing dine-in beyond permitted hours.

Dubai Department of Economy (DED) has said in a statement that restaurants are allowed to operate beyond 1am only to deliver orders — not for dine-in.

The violating restaurants and cafes were concentrated mostly in Al Karama, Jumeirah, Satwa, Al Muraqabat and Al Riqqa.

The inspections teams from Dubai Economy also issued fines to four stores in Mirdif City Centre during the recent three-day super sale for non-compliance with the precautionary guidelines on wearing facemasks and maintaining social distancing.

Dubai Economy will continue to inspect commercial establishments in the emirate to ensure compliance with the precautionary measures.

Dubai Economy called on consumers to report any violation of the precautionary measures via the Dubai Consumer App available on the Apple, Google and Huawei stores, or via the consumerrights.ae website, or by calling 600545555.
