Abu Dhabi announced entertainment centres and gaming halls can reopen subject to stringent safety measures.

They must operate at 60 per cent capacity and equipment must be sanitised frequently.

The measures include limiting the capacity of ball pits to 30 per cent and disinfecting all rides, machines and protective equipment after each use.

Customers and staff must wear masks at all times.

Inspectors have been out in force across the country, fining people who flout the rules.

Authorities repeated the need to avoid large gatherings, not only with family members at home but also at restaurants and malls.

The UAE recorded 852 cases on Tuesday, bringing the number of infections to 86,447.
