That's according to Dr. Saif Juma Al Dhaheri, Director of Safety and Prevention Department at the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA), who spoke at a press briefing on Monday.

According to Dr Al Dhaheri, shopping mall timings have also been adjusted and will operate from 9:00 am until 7:00 pm daily, while following the necessary precautionary measures announced earlier.
