Mall managers and cinema operators said to have received a fresh circular from the local authorities by Friday evening informing them about the new restrictions.
“We have received a circular. The total capacity at malls should be only 40 per cent. Restaurants and café are to operate at 60 per cent and sports halls at 50 per cent. We assume sports halls, mean gyms, so we have informed them accordingly,” a general manager of a mall in the city said.
Another mall manager also confirmed the development and noted that steps were taken to implement the order immediately.
Meanwhile, Cine Royal and VOX Cinemas have confirmed closure.
“We are closed temporarily until further notice,” said a manager with Cine Royal.
VOX Cinemas posted the news on its social media handles and noted the move is “in compliance with the government-mandated closure of cinemas in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.”
“We will be back soon so please stay tuned for updates on reopening.”
The UAE reported 3,251 new cases and 12 deaths on Friday.

I am a newspaperman from the emirate of Abu Dhabi. A journalist at heart. I get my stories from the streets. A south Indian born in the Hindi heartland, I easily connect with people from different nationalities and cultures. I am calm like a monk, sensitive and very patient reporter. On the ground, I cover a range of topics related to community, health, embassy, tourism, transport, business and sports. I will go out on a leg to do what’s right and stand by what I believe in.
