Oman’s Supreme Committee Issues New Decisions To Curb Spread Of COVID-19
The Sultanate’s Supreme Committee in charge of dealing with the pandemic has issued a new set of decisions to curb the spread of COVID-19 and its various mutations, including Omicron.
Following a press conference wherein the Committee convened today [Friday, January 21], it was announced that the number of employees of the state’s administrative apparatus and other public companies at the workplace must be reduced to 50 per cent of the total capacity.
These employees will be expected to follow a work-from-home routine.
The Committee also stated that Friday prayers with worshipers will be paused; though, daily prayers will continue at 50 per cent of the total capacity of the venue. Prayers will be held in accordance with all precautionary measures announced by the Ministry of Endowments & Religious Affairs and the Ministry of Health.
It was also announced that conferences, exhibitions, and all activities including the public must be postponed or held in the absence of spectators, with mandatory screening of all participants, including proof of complete vaccination.
Lastly, OERLive learns that restaurants, cafes, shops, event halls, and malls must operate at 50 per cent of the total capacity. Masks, proof of vaccination, and social distancing are mandatory for entry – and the Supreme Committee requests management to follow due diligence.
The aforementioned decisions will be applicable for a period of two weeks.
