The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has approved a new color-coding scheme for people’s vaccination status and PCR test validity.
Under the ‘green pass’ system, Al Hosn app will be used to show people’s vaccination status and PCR test validity under six categories.
The green pass protocol allows federal and local authorities to determine the use of Al Hosn app according to their individual needs and procedures to ensure the safety and health of citizens, residents and visitors.
The changes will enhance safe movement and tourism in the country, said the ministry.
