As the UAE continues to ease restrictions across the Emirates, we’re also seeing a return to normal with pools, restaurants and gyms reopening with strict guidelines. Dubai Health Authority has issued the following rules for gym operators and customers looking to return to the gym.
The hygiene and social distancing rules were issued to curb the spread of COVID-19. According to the Dubai Sports Council (DSC) and Dubai Economic Department (DED), gyms in Dubai are allowed to operate at 50%. Each emirate has issued regulations on the maximum number of people allowed in gyms, if they have reopened and have to be adhered to.
They have issued the below guidelines:
- Provide clear and precautionary educational material across the gym
- Disinfect the gym and machines regularly and after each use, if needed
- Provide sanitizers across the gym
- Keep gym machines at least 2 metres apart to ensure physical distancing
- Close areas where people gather like changing rooms, saunas and jacuzzis
- Take temperatures of employees and customers before they enter the gym
- Bring your own towel and water bottle and don’t share it with others
