abu dhabi — The Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) issued a circular to the owners and managers of jewelry stores in the emirate of Abu Dhabi concerning precautionary and preventive measures for jewellery trade in the emirate.
It has stressed on the need to comply with the directives in line with the preventive measures implemented across the emirate of Abu Dhabi to curb the spread of coronavirus outbreak, issued by the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority.
Rashed Abdul Karim Al Balooshi, Undersecretary of the ADDED, reaffirmed that the department has set procedures to be followed by jewellery store owners as part of the gradual resumption of commercial activities in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, as well as the reactivation of the commercial sector, revitalisation of the business sector and the gradual and safe return of production.
This reflects the department’s efforts to help the private sector fulfill their vital role despite the repercussions of the global crisis caused by the pandemic.
Al Balooshi pointed out that the measures are primarily concerned with protecting employees, workers and visitors and ensuring the highest levels of public safety, by making sure that responsible behavior and strict hygiene practices are enforced to prevent the spread of the disease, such as sterilisation and periodic cleaning of the facility during the day and sterilisation of surfaces and equipment, including display areas, along with the provision of hand sanitisers at the payment gateways and at the entrances and exits of each facility. —
