Abu Dhabi during pandemic times

As of November 7, 2022, almost all COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted in Abu Dhabi. Neither the green pass on the Al Hosn app nor a negative PCR test result is required to access public places and attractions in the emirate.

At the moment, the use of masks in Abu Dhabi is mandatory only within health facilities and centers for people of determination, and is optional in all open and closed facilities, including places of worship.

The announcement has been given by the authorities “after studying the epidemiological situation in the country, monitoring the employment rates in hospitals and in intensive care”.

Abu Dhabi’s response to COVID-19 was immediate and, in our opinion, structured according to an accurate strategy based on evident results and best practices applied in the rest of the world.

This strategy was evident from the first measures taken in early March, with the closure of schools, up to the availability of the vaccine in December.

Among the measures taken:
✅   Extension of the PCR test and the facilities for accessing the test through the booking app, establishment of drive-through centers for testing, exemption from payment for some categories.
✅   Sanctions on the unjustified increase in prices for the sale of essential devices such as masks and sanitizing gels.
✅   Management of the initial lock-down.
✅   Strengthening of health facilities.
✅   Measures for frequent sanitation of the city, especially in the most densely populated areas and structures frequented by the public.
✅   Tracking through the Al Hosn app.
✅   Social distancing.
✅   Constant information through institutional social channels (through shareable info graphics) and the monitoring of fake news.
✅   Online services for the community, including public administration services.
✅   Gradual reopening of commercial establishments, according to capacities that allow to maintain safety distances and standards of hygiene and health safety
✅   Measures to support the economy
✅   Free vaccination

All this, trying to maintain the critical balance between health and economic security, and the commitment to protect a community made up of 80% expatriates, of at least two hundred different nationalities.
