Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee has
approved the usage of green pass for safe entry to shopping malls
and large supermarkets, gyms, hotels and facilities within, public parks and beaches, private beaches and swimming pools, entertainment centres, cinemas, and museums, and restaurants and cafes come into effective on June 15, 2021.
The Committee has approved usage of green pass on Alhosn app, based on the emirate’s 4-pillar strategy to combat Covid-19 focused on vaccination, active contract tracings, safe entry and adopting preventive measures.
It will ease restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and enhance safe movement and tourism in the country and also federal and local authorities can use the Alhosn app according to their individual needs and procedures, to to ensure the safe and healthy environment for all citizens, residents, and visitors.
Earlier this week, six categories were introduced by the UAE government, explaining the validity of PCR tests (and therefore green pass) in each. They are as follows:
Category 1: For those vaccinated who have received their second dose at least 28 days earlier or are volunteers in vaccine trials, a negative PCR test result will see the Alhosn status appear in green for 30 days, as well as show the active icon (letter E or gold star) for seven days.
Category 2: For people who have received their second dose less than 28 days earlier, a negative PCR test result will give green-light status for 14 days.
Category 3: For those who have received their first dose and are waiting for their second dose appointment, a negative PCR test result will see their Alhosn status change to green for seven days.
Category 4: People who have received their first dose and are late to their second dose appointment by 48 days or more, a negative PCR test result will see the app’s status appear in green for three days.
Category 5: For those with vaccine exemption certificates as per approved processes, a negative PCR test result will see the Alhosn status appear in green for seven days.
Category 6: And finally, for those who are unvaccinated and do not have exemption, a negative PCR test result will see the app’s status change to green for three days.
For all categories, Alhosn’s status will turn grey when the relevant PCR test validity ends. It will turn red when the test result is positive and government isolation procedures will need to be followed..
