The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources addressed today a circular to all ministries and federal entities, according to which it amended some procedures against Covid-19 pandemic at the level of the federal government. This came after coordination with the competent authorities in the country, and in line with the directives of the UAE government regarding the adoption of the green pass application for entry to all federal entities by employees and customers, in all emirates of the country, and entry shall be limited to those who are vaccinated and those exempt from vaccination, starting from January 3, 2022.
The authority urged the ministries and federal entities to abide by the procedures contained in its circular No. 21 of 2021, so that entry to federal entities is limited to people who have received two doses of any Covid-19 vaccine approved in the country, plus boosters, and who have Al-Hosn application showing green color. All recipients of both the vaccine and the booster doses must do a PCR test every 14 days in order to ensure maintaining the green pass on Al-Hosn application.
As for the category of employees and customers who are exempt from vaccination, they are allowed to enter the federal entities, provided that their status on Al-Hosn shows green color, and they have to do a PCR test every 7 days in order to ensure maintaining the green pass on Al-Hosn application.
As for the customers who are children under the age of 16, and have green pass in Al-Hosn application, they can enter the federal entities without having to show any PCR test.
However, the unvaccinated employees and customers are not allowed to enter the federal entities, and the same goes for people whose status in Al-Hosn shows gray color due to the expiry of their PCR result validity.

The authority called on federal government employees to take advantage of the free Covid-19 test service provided by the Ministry of Health and Prevention, through the “Shifaa” App, or the online link for the free Covid-19 test service, provided by the Ministry at https://2u.pw/ewLUT .
