UAE: Entry restricted to government sites to vaccinated only

The UAE’s Green Pass protocol has been activated for federal government departments. The country will restrict entry into all government institutions only to people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 starting from January 3.

A negative PCR test result is needed every 14 days to maintain the green status on AlHosn app. The Covid safety protocol is applicable to both employees and residents seeking federal government services.

Those who are exempted from vaccination on medical grounds will need to take a PCR test every seven days to keep their green status active. Children under the age of 16 are exempted from the Green Pass protocol.

Failure to take the tests periodically will result in the green status turning grey. Such individuals will not be allowed access to federal government entities.
