COVID-19 tests mandatory for those attending Ras Al Khaimah weddings

Wedding halls in Ras Al Khaimah are reopening in line with precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

The emirate’s Department of Economic Development made the announcement on its social media accounts.

Organisers have to apply for a permit and music bands are prohibited.

All participants must receive a negative PCR test 48 hours before the wedding, or have received their second COVID-19 vaccination two weeks prior to the event.

In addition, the venues’ capacity has been reduced to 30 per cent, social distancing must be observed and face masks are mandatory.
