Three new drive-through covid testing centres have opened in Al Dhafra region, Abu Dhabi.

Opened by Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), the UAE’s largest healthcare network, the Centers are located in Liwa, Sila and Dalma.

The new Centers, open from 8am to 8pm throughout the week, feature two tracks, one for nasal swabs and the other for DPI laser-based testing with a capacity of 500 nasal swabs and 100 laser tests per day.

The new Centers are housed in shipping containers, leveraging their durability and adaptability, resulting in robust heat and cold resistance. The containers are also easier to move, reuse and maintain.

This brings the total number of SEHA COVID-19 drive-through facilities to 24 across the country with a combined capacity of over 140,000 PCR tests per week.

Those wanting to receive a COVID-19 screening can book an appointment via SEHA’s app.
