UAE approves special measures for vaccine participants

Our Correspondent

Participants in the Phase III clinical trials of the COVID-19 vaccine or the National Vaccination Programme for emergency use will be entitled to the special measures approved by Abu Dhabi’s Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee for COVID-19 Pandemic.

The special measures apply to participants in the vaccine trial immediately after their first dose. They apply to participants in the National Vaccination Programme 28 days after their second dose.

Trial participants are identified by a gold star in the Al Hosn app. They do not have to take a PCR or DPI test to enter Abu Dhabi from within the UAE. After travelling abroad, they are exempt from quarantine but must undergo a PCR test before travelling and upon returning to the emirate. They are exempt from PCR tests on the 4th and 8th days after entry into the emirate.

Participants in the vaccination programme are identified by the letter E in the Alhosn app and are not required to take a PCR or DPI test to enter Abu Dhabi from inside the UAE. If they travel abroad, they must take a PCR test before travelling and upon re-entering the emirate, as well as on the 4th and 8th days after entry. They are exempt from quarantine.

The special measures are only valid if the participant’s Al Hosn app continues to show their special status, which is linked to taking a PCR test every fortnight, as per the conditions of the trial and vaccination programme.
