According to the emirate’s Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Team (ECDMT), family or institutional iftar tents and gatherings will be strictly prohibited during the month-long fast.
The act of distributing meals in front of restaurants, homes and mosques has also been banned.
Officials have clarified that people can donate meals and offer assistance to families in-need through accredited charities in the emirate.
They also said that the decision aims to preserve the safety of the community and to limit the spread of COVID-19.
