This is in line with the efforts to respond to the needs of all community members of the emirate and ensure they have access to services whenever they need them, and to support the exceptional round-the-clock efforts of healthcare workers in protecting the health and safety of the community.
DoH explained that for those who wish to get a COVID-19 PCR test from the comfort of their home should contact and coordinate with the healthcare facilities - noting that an additional fee will be applied.
The department also indicated that the cost of the PCR test should be covered by the individuals themselves if they don't have any symptoms, otherwise the cost would be covered by the government-funded programmes.
