Dubai has now allowed the resumption of wedding receptions and other social events starting October 22, with a maximum capacity of 200 people in each hall.

In the guidelines issued by the Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management, a maximum of 30 people will now also be allowed at tents and homes. However, strict adherence of a social distance of one person per four square meters must be followed at all times.

The guideline added that the events should not run longer than four hours, and that individuals in the high-risk group—those with pre-existing health conditions and the elderly—are strongly advised not to come to these events.

Other guidelines of Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management are as follows:

– Face masks must be worn at all time except when seated at the table

– Only five guests are allowed per table

– Face-to-face seating arrangement must be avoided, and a distance of 1.5 meters must be maintained.

– Tables must be placed at least two meters from each other

– People with symptoms like coughing and fever must not attend
