In addition, all employees must get a compulsory PCR test every week. Volunteers in the vaccine clinical trials and those who are vaccinated as part of the National Vaccination Programme who have active icons on the Al Hosn app will be exempt from the tests. The new measures are ‘to protect the health of employees and their families and bolster preventative measures implemented in the emirate’.
As the citizens of this country, it would be wonderful if we call abide by the safety and precautionary measures strictly and curb the spread of Covid-19.
