The changes affect students.
Students under the age of 16 will now be able to enter schools in Abu Dhabi with a PCR test result with a 28-day validity it has been announced.
Previously test results for students in that age bracket could only attend school in-person in Abu Dhabi with a PCR test result that was undertaken in the last 14 days.
Parents in the emirate were also reminded that students above the age of 16 will still need to undergo a PCR test every 14 days and present the negative result on their Al Hosn app in order to enter school’s premises.
The relaxed measure is just one of many COVID-19 precautionary measures to be introduced into Abu Dhabi in the last few days with the removal of the Abu Dhabi/Dubai border, wristbands for confirmed COVID-19 cases quarantining at home and the mandatory requirement for facemasks outside.
