Abu Dhabi tightens guidelines for social gatherings ahead of New Year celebrations

Home social events to host no more than 30 people.

The Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee has enhanced Covid-19 guidelines for hosting indoor and outdoor social events, with the new guidelines for events from weddings to house parties now in place.

 

 

According to the new rules, venues hosting social events like wedding ceremonies, funerals and family gatherings are to have 60 per cent maximum occupancy.

The maximum number of people permitted at indoor events is 50, and no more than 150 people are allowed at outdoor events and open-air activities.

Social events at home should not host more than 30 people.

A green pass on the Al Hosn App will need to be shown for entry into social events requires, as well as a negative PCR test result received within 48 hours.

The Committee urges the public to continue observing precautionary measures by avoiding crowded places, wearing masks that cover both nose and mouth, and practising physical distancing by keeping at least 2m apart, and regularly washing and sanitising hands.

The Committee also encourages those eligible to receive a booster vaccine dose, and maintain green status on Alhosn App through regular PCR testing.
