What Else?
While restrictions are easing up around the emirate, some rules still remain. All parks in Sharjah will remain closed until further notice. The municipality has mentioned that all parks will still undergo a thorough sterilization process, after which they will then be opened to the public. This precautionary measure comes in line with all the other safety measures the government of Sharjah is taking, in order to further curb the spread of Covid 19. Families can still visit malls, dine in at restaurants, and enjoy other commercial establishments. With the way things are going, we’re sure parks will be open in no time.
