The Department conducts regular inspections in order to identify violators in different regions. Those locations that jeopardize community safety and public health, not observing sanitation standards or continuing to work in those industries that were supposed to close according to the rules, are punished by law. Part of the violations was identified through complaints received on a direct line with the contact center of the Ajman government.
The closed places included groceries, cafes, gyms, pharmacies, hairdressers and other venues. Also, fines and warnings received 90 shops and establishments. Among the violations were noted the increase in prices for certain types of products, the lack of licenses, trade outside stores, the presence of too large groups of workers in the premises, etc.
Also during the inspections, shops selling face masks and factories producing such products were discovered. Demand for such means of protection has now risen sharply around the world, but the products were not certified and did not meet the norms and standards accepted in UAE. The locations selling and manufacturing masks were closed.
Face masks are optional in certain places and more updates

Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, also known as COVID-19) is a new strain of coronavirus which is causing illness in humans and animals. Most people infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus will feel mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without any special treatment. Older people, as well as those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, cancer or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness, and require immediate assistance. Novel Coronavirus was first identified in a cluster with pneumonia symptoms in Wuhan city, Hubei province of China, quickly spreading around the world. On early March 2020, the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic had officially started, becoming the defining global health crisis of our time. Today, it is the greatest challenge people have faced since World War II, worsened by subsequent lockdowns of whole countries, collapse of entire industries, and a major economic recession.
