Oasis Malls in the UAE has announced closure of its mall outlets for two weeks on Wednesday.

 

In a statement, Oasis Malls explained that mall closures will exclude Carrefour, pharmacies and clinics within the shopping malls in Dubai and Sharjah, said a Wam news agency report.

 

"Oasis Malls will carry on with its daily cleaning and disinfection practices in line with the UAE Ministry of Health and the Dubai and Sharjah Health Authorities," it added.

 

The announcement was made following the UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention and the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA) precautionary instructions.

 

"As the heartbeat of the city, the wellbeing of all our staff, visitors and the public is of utmost importance and as such, we continue to urge all members of the public to adhere to the preventative methods set in place by the UAE government," an Oasis Malls spokesperson said.

 

Additional measures have been taken as the grocery and some healthcare retailers will remain open and operating as normal.
