In an effort to measure compliance of private establishments with the precautionary measures against the spread of COVID-19, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has conducted 560 inspection visits, in collaboration with the relevant federal and local entities as part of the preventive arrangements taken across the UAE to curb the virus and to ensure business continuity

The inspections measured compliance with social distancing rules in workplaces, workers accommodations and workers transportation, as well as health procedures in place, like availability of non-contact temperature thermometer devices, minimizing number of workers to not more than 30 percent of the facility's capacity, and avoiding gatherings and social events.

The visits also aimed at promoting awareness among the business owners and workers on the importance of adhering to the preventive measures against COVID-19.
