Most hypermarkets and supermarkets across Dubai will remain open as usual, leading grocery chains have confirmed.
This comes after the UAE announced revised national sterilisation programme timings from May 20.
Residents are not allowed to step out of their homes from 8pm to 6am unless during emergencies. In industrial areas and areas with worker accommodations, the timings are from 6pm to 6am.
The Abu Dhabi Media Office tweeted on Wednesday that supermarkets, cooperatives, grocery stores and pharmacists may remain open 24/7.
V. Nandkumar, Chief Communications Officer, Lulu Group told Khaleej Times, "all its hypermarkets will operate as usual until 10pm daily. No changes will be there from today".
Another leading supermarket confirmed the same. Kamal Vachani, group director of Almaya Group said, "we are open as per our usual timings. But of course this is subject to any further changes or circulars that we receive from the concerned ministry."
