Regarding the number of people inside the salons, Engr Fatima explained the number in the salon is according to its area, and “we stress that the number of workers is small and commensurate with the number of customers, and it is between one worker and another 10 square meters and between one person and another waiting person is two meters. She emphasized that the inspection covers all governorates on a daily basis, and that the distribution is done in areas based on the number of salons and spas.

Engr Fatima added, because of the specified time and hours of the ban, some salons receive a large number in a short time, and this “we follow up and we are keen to see it does not happen again with a commitment to the numbers and time to avoid penalty. “We hope the salon owners will urge the workers to take vaccination in order to avoid the spread of the virus,” she said.
