The vegetable and meat markets will be open to the public from 10am to 7pm, while consumers can enter fish markets from 10am to 5pm.
ADAFSA set several guidelines for business owners to reopen their facilities, including conducting COVID-19 test for food handlers at SEHA’s accredited centers, adhering to circulars issued by ADAFSA in this regard, allowing shoppers to enter markets after wearing masks and gloves, conducting temperature checks for consumers, and preventing the entry of those whose temperatures are above 37.5 C.
Limiting shoppers volume to 30% of the markets’ capacity will be mandatory for the markets’ management. In addition, they should provide sanitizers at the entrance and exit gates of each market, obliging all shoppers to sanitize themselves before entering and when leaving the market.
