Twelve businesses were hit with fines in Dibba last month for breaching Covid-19 regulations.

Inspectors swept through at least 410 Fujairah establishments, including supermarkets, restaurants and beauty salons, to check businesses were complying with coronavirus rules and general health and safety measures.

The city’s municipality fined 82 businesses and issued warnings to 62 others but did not name them.

Failing to adhere to mask wearing and testing regulations were the chief cause of the Covid-19 fines.

Inspections also confiscated 174 kilograms of expired food that was not fit for human consumption.

Another 5kg of cosmetic products that did not meet safety requirements was also seized.

“Owners were informed of the importance of adhering to safety rules including regular sanitisation to maintain public safety and stem the spread of coronavirus,” said Hassan Al Yamahi, director of Dibba Fujairah Municipality.

Authorities have made regular inspections at businesses and markets across the UAE to ensure compliance with Covid-19 rules.

Who was Alfred Nobel?

The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.

  • In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
  • Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
  • Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.
