People who are working at hairdressing salons and beauty parlours now will be able to restart their full services after permission from the Municipality of Sharjah (“Sharjah allows barbershops, beauty parlours to resume services,” June 26, Gulf Today).

The Municipality of Sharjah has announced that it permits hairdressing salons and beauty centres to expand their services provided to its customers, while updating the list of preventive measures and precautionary measures enlisted by the municipality. The United Arab Emirates is returning to a normal life gradually after a few months of strict restrictions to control the spread of coronavirus COVID-19 cases.

Because of timely steps taken by the United Arab Emirates government to control the virus spread in the country, life is returning to normal.  The authority has issued a number of preventive and precautionary measures to ensure the safe delivery of the services, and continued to follow up on these facilities through inspection visits. People should start their normal lives with social responsibility and follow all the guidelines provided by the UAE government.

The world is going through its toughest time because of the coronavirus, but in the UAE because of its right steps at the right time people are saved and can restart normal lives with responsibility.
