Abu Dhabi’s ongoing National Screening Programme has targeted several heavily-populated areas and communities in the emirate in its efforts to trace individuals who have contracted the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to curb the spread of the virus.
Apart from doing mass testings for all residents in the area, authorities have also extended their assistance for individuals who require personal and medical assistance essentially serving the community with the provision of their needs when they need it most.

“Entities’ efforts to conduct the National Screening Programme in high-density residential areas have expanded to include helping with medical and personal needs, supporting people with chronic diseases, and serving all members of the community during these challenging times,” said the statement in the video.
The ongoing programme has restricted movement within the areas of Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra regions for three weeks now, until June 22. Entry and exit of workers to Abu Dhabi emirate is still prohibited.
