Dubai health authorities ordered the closure of a tourism camp for violating COVID-19 protocols.

In a report on Gulf Today, organizers were found guilty of violating strict measures to curb the spread of coronavirus.

“Dubai Police, in cooperation with Dubai Tourism and Commerce Marketing, shuts down a tourism camp for one month and issues the organizer a fine of AED50,000 for organising a gathering that is not in adherence to the precautionary measures,” the Dubai Media posted.

The Dubai Media Office added that the Dubai Economy also issued a warning to six establishments and fines to eight others over the past 24 hours for not adhering to the precautionary measures set to limit COVID-19.

Dubai has been clamping down on activities barred due to coronavirus.

Health authorities have issued fines up to AED50,000 to multiple entities for breaking COVID-19 rules in the last two weeks.

Two yacht operators were also arrested by authorities, a desert camp organizers, and a private party organizer for COVID-19 violations last week.

The government bans social gathering of more than four people without facemasks.

Authorities also urged the public to report any violation of the existing COVID-19 protocols. (TDT)
