The Ministry of Health and Prevention (Mohap) has allocated more centres for getting kids tested against Covid-19 in the northern emirates, as part of the health protocol with the start of the new school term.

On Sunday, the ministry announced a total of 63 Covid-19 PCR test centres for school students across the northern emirates, including ministry clinics and other affiliated centres.

The move, Mohap stated, aimed at increasing the capacity of the health centre network to avoid overcrowding of centres. More community members are encouraged to benefit from the quick services provided by the centres, it added.

The ministry emphasised that all Covid-19 testing facilities are fully prepared in terms of equipment and testing tools, in the presence of sufficient medical cadres that are highly qualified and well-trained to deal with the expected students’ inflow to the health centres countrywide. All centres will operate from 8am to 8pm on weekdays and 10am to 8pm on Fridays.
