VACCINATION MANDATORY FOR ATTENDING UAE EVENTS

All kinds of events and activities (including sports, cultural, social and artistic) in the UAE are restricted to Covid-vaccinated residents only from June 6, 2021.

Addressing the weekly Covid-19 briefing, Dr Farida Al Hosani, official spokesperson for the UAE Health Sector, said attendees would need to present a Covid-negative result of a PCR test taken no more than 48 hours prior to attending the events.

During the briefing, Dr. Al Hosani revealed that more than 78.1 per cent of the UAE’s eligible groups have been vaccinated against COVID-19 so far, including nearly 85 per cent of the elderly population.
She added that the eligibility for the vaccine booster shot will be based on a medical evaluation, which will be carried out through prior appointments.
