Another update
Another update for the same matter.
I checked by email with Time Topaz, they said that regarding COVID-19 situation they are currently not allowing visitors except who checkd-in with you, so I believe there are some green hotels which changed their visitors policies temporary, my advice for now days is to ask the hotel before you book even if the hotel was known as a green hotel.

I'm returning to Dubai first time after the pandemic, Just wanted to be sure if the green hotels still green by the same way, or any new instructions added, are they still allowing visitors in the popular green hotels like Manhattan, Arbian Courtyard, Media Rotana, or not any more after the corona virus spreading?

I saw some recent reports for Dubai including girls coming to room with no problem in green hotels, so I belive things still the same.

Status of Dubai green hotels after the covid-19

It is exceptionally high among blue collar workers, who live in the same accommodations, it isn't blue sailing by any means.
And you have to wonder what the count is among sex workers and the risk they pose when they go about their 'business', considering their number in Dubai is in the tens of thousands. And a lot of these women live in apartments where in say 2 rooms, you have 15 people easily.

Anywhere with high density housing (eg labour camps, 6+ people to a room) is of concern. NYC is high density and it just now saying it is slowly managing the crisis. Singapore was great then migrant workers came back and lived in dorms (maybe 10 to a room) and COVID19 spiked again. Stats can be deceiving for sure as Trump thinks his stats are a badge of honour and his team have performed to gold + star standards LOL while most of the world think he is a moron who can't understand a basic kids book LOL.
The way to know of the UAE is doing well is by the numbers cases reported ad the 'are' statistic. Have not see that for the UAE but at least it is testing more which is seen to be a good thing from most media reporting I read.

When you compare to the USA (I think was 27th) you realise 1) what a liar Trump is, 2) how far USA has to go to meet UAE standards and 3) how well UAE is doing (albeit a smaller population base.

My calculation says, by mid-July or so, Dubai will open up. There will still be cases showing up for infection for sure, but it will be in control. Already it seems that the number of Active cases has peaked. And now the graph is turning towards the downside.
The same thing happened with South Korea. But yeah, "contact-sports" will be off-limits for some time.
Cheers!!

This means there will be substantially less customers for WG's. I would imagine many WG's will leave because of this, leaving a limited number of WG's in Dubai.
Reduced WG numbers would usually mean the price would go up if no other factors were taken into consideration, however given that for the pool of customers left there will be less money to go around (I. E. People cutting back on spend due to fear of losing their jobs) and the fact that many customers would want to avoid contact due to the high risk of being with a WG (due to reasons already mentioned here) then I would expect the prices to go down. That's just my opinion, but difficult at present to forecast the situation fully as a lot will depend on when they open Dubai back up to tourists. But until they do then prices for WG's should definitely be reduced given overall market conditions I believe.

That's why Brothels and rnt shops are amongst the very last that are being allowed to open back up after lock down. Given the high density of hookers in Dubai, the Dubai authorities surely know how much they can contribute to the spread of Covid. Plus, a lot of these hookers live in cramped spaces, it's common for a single room to have 5-6 women sharing. Not good when you talk about social distancing. If they are serious at wanting to control the spread of Covid, surely it can't be business as usual. I could be wrong, but I think hookers are in for a tough time in Dubai. I hope I'm wrong and things become more or less the same as they were 6 months ago. Debate!

Another question is will there be a clampdown on prostitution given the obvious risks of contracting Covid through punting is the highest.

Dance Bars
I think the Dance Bar type places will make a comeback. The girls are all far enough and every monger has his own tables. Some least.

From the Dubai government point of view, it's just not worth it. Surely they will loosen measures once it's possible, but those are measures on public transport, malls, restaurant. You know, the usual industries. I don't they will allow clubs to reopen as it's obvious that this will create a great risk of new covid infections. And for Dubai, it will be *killing* if new infections are reported in international newspapers. That will drive international travel demand downwards, etc.
The only solution is to have a vaccin + mass vaccination program soon. Only then, clubs and mongering will return to the level as we knew it. Maybe you must present a proof of vaccination upon entering, who knows. And even in that situation, it's hard to tell if it will be back to the old level. The mongering scene is related to the overall / general economic level in Dubai. If business is going down with 10-20%, then that will also impact the money spent on mongering, hence girls will not travel to Dubai to do this job, etc. If business is thriving, money is spent and there's money to be made by these girls.
The above is just my 2 cents. I'm looking forward to the day I can fly to Dubai again.
Bars at some hotels, the resort types, and on the palm, are already opening up, but limited to guests only at the hotel. And staycations are being marketed again for people to come and stay. So it isn't iron clad strict.

They will just enforce 'social distancing' outside the room, in bars restaurants, keep pools and gyms closed until given the go ahead, as far as guests goes, there is nothing they can do other than saying NOT ALLOWED TWO GUESTS IN ONE ROOM, which they are not doing. They are putting temperature checks at doors.
