The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) announced Saturday that the validity of the Al Hosn green pass to enter ministries and federal entities to 30 days from 14 days for those that are fully vaccinated.
The announcement was made in line with directives from the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA).
FAHR said that the announcement was in line with the UAE’s ongoing low Covid-019 infection rate and was made in coordination with NCEMA and the UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP).
The authority also called on ministries and federal authorities to abide by the procedures mentioned in its circular, and to continue using the Al Hosn app to ensure that employees and visitors are vaccinated prior to entry into federal government entities.
In mid-April, the UAE eased Covid travel restrictions for unvaccinated citizens, allowing all unvaccinated individuals, including citizens and residents, to travel if they present a negative PCR test result taken 48 hours before departure.
These rules, along with FAHR’s announcement, demonstrate the steps that UAE authorities are continuing to take to return the country to normalcy. The country continues to report a high level of testing and a low infection rate. The last death caused by Covid-19 in the UAE was reported on 8 March, 2022.
Authorities continue to urge that everyone adhere to precautionary measures, including wearing face masks indoors, practicing social distancing, sanitising hands, and avoiding crowded areas.
