A major health milestone: UAE to cross the 180-million PCR test mark this week

Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Frontline Heroes Office, said the public commitment has enabled the UAE leadership to deliver on its pandemic management strategy by following testing protocols, practising social distancing and mask wearing, quarantining when required and committing to getting both vaccines and boosters.

The Chairman of the Board of the Frontline Heroes Office underscored that the UAE is recognised as one of the most resilient countries in the world for pandemic response and management, consistently ranking high for government efficiency, quarantine system, healthcare management, vaccination rates and other key aspects of pandemic response.

"Surpassing the one million mark for positive COVID-19 cases reaffirms the UAE's future emergency preparedness network and continued social and economic prosperity. Our people responded by acting together as one. As a result, the UAE consistently ranked as having one of the lowest infection and mortality rates of any country in the world. And that’s what it’s all about, protecting the health and wellbeing of our people," he said.
