With fish markets across Oman allowed to re-open from last Wednesday [June 24], upon the decision of the country’s Supreme Committee for COVID-19, customers are obliged to follow a host of new precautionary measures.
In a statement issued online today [Sunday, June 28], Muscat Municipality has outlined new health and safety guidelines at the Muttrah Fish Market to help protect customers and staff from the spread of COVID-19.
Among the preventive steps to be followed are:
— Children and the elderly will be prohibited from entering the market.
— Customers must refrain from handling the fish.
— A social distance of 1.5 metres must be maintained at all times.
— The number of customers in the fish market should not exceed 30 per cent of its total capacity.
— Only one gate will be used for entry and exit to the market.
— Face-masks must be worn at all times, and customers with a body temperature higher than 37.5 degrees Celsius will not be allowed to enter.
