UAE COVID-19 rules: Al Hosn Green Pass update; quarantine, isolation rules

Dubai: The Al Hosn Green Pass validity has been changed to 14 days, after an announcement was made by the National Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA). This means that you would need to take a PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test every 14 days to keep the Al Hosn status ‘green’. But when do you need to use the Al Hosn Green Pass status, and what are the latest guidelines for isolation and quarantine, in case someone tests positive for COVID-19? Here is your guide to the most recent announcements made by UAE’s authorities. On June 13, NCEMA held a press briefing, in which it announced that the validity for the Green Pass has been reduced to 14 days, from 30 days. This means that once you get a PCR test done, and the result is negative, the Al Hosn status will stay green for 14 days. After the 14-day period has lapsed, the status will turn grey. To get the green status once again, you would need to retake a PCR test. Find out more about PCR test locations in and the . While you , you will be required to show a Green Pass to access public
