The rules also state that all guests and staff should have their temperatures taken before and during training sessions, and wear masks and gloves at all times.
Life is returning to normal as the capital gears up to reinvigorate the economy.
In the past few weeks, Abu Dhabi has launched a massive screening campaign to drive down infection rates in the emirate.
Police and medics have joined forces in the capital to offer free Covid-19 tests at the homes of residents.
The aim of the campaign is to ensure all sections of society can have access to screening, particularly those at most risk of suffering serious illness if they catch the virus.
