Coronavirus outbreak

Latest updates

Covid-19 carrier on Dubai to New Zealand flight infected at least four others

Close to 15.8 million tests have been conducted nationwide since the outbreak began.

Officials have adopted a mass screening strategy in an effort to limit the spread of coronavirus.

The authorities have sought to make testing more affordable and widely accessible by introducing drive-though screening centres, reducing the cost of tests and even allowing shoppers to take nasal swabs at malls.

On Sunday, Dubai's health authority introduced a saliva test for children to avoid the need for uncomfortable nasal swabs.

Young people who are travelling abroad or are getting tested as a precaution can visit one of 19 government-run centres.

The saliva alternative is in use for children aged between 3 and 16.

It involves spitting into a tube which is then sealed and tested.

The UAE typically tests more than 100,000 people per day.
