No PCR tests needed for 30 days for recently recovered COVID-19 cases

The change is effective immediately.

If you have recently recovered from COVID-19, you probably have noticed a new symbol on your Al Hosn app.

A crossed-out syringe will show on your Al Hosn app indicating that you are a recovered case from the disease.

Taking to its social media pages, the Al Hosn app revealed that members of the public who have the crossed-out symbol, will have a green status for 30 days on their Al Hosn app and therefore will not need to undergo PCR tests to maintain the pass during that period.

After the 30-day time period, you will need to undergo a negative PCR test every 14 days to retain the green status.

The symbol on the Al Hosn app will also mean you are exempt from vaccination requirements for 90 days.

Once that time period has elapsed, you will need the necessary COVID-19 booster to retain the green status on your Al Hosn app.
