Green Pass mandatory to enter UAE government entities

WAM

The Green Pass system will be implemented for regulating entry into federal government entities across the UAE, from January 3.

The new directive was announced by the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA) in coordination with the Ministry of Health and Prevention.

It applies to employees of federal government departments as well as to those visiting such entities.

Entry will be confined to individuals who have received two doses of UAE-approved COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots (if eligible).

A negative PCR test will be required every 14 days to maintain the green status on Al Hosn app.

Meanwhile, those with vaccination exemption will be allowed entry, provided their green status is active on Al Hosn app, which will require taking a PCR test every seven days.
