“In a sign of steadily increasing commitment among commercial establishments to protecting public health and safety, inspections held by the DED (on Tuesday) showed 750 businesses fully complied with the precautionary measures against COVID-19. No fines were issued for any violation of the precautionary guidelines,” the DED added.
Field inspectors from DED’s Commercial Compliance & Consumer Protection sector continued their daily visits to open markets and shopping centres as the DED reiterated disciplinary actions will be enforced to deter any health protocol violation or abuse.
