Dubai intensifies preemptive screening for COVID-19

Preventive screening campaigns have been stepped up by the Dubai Health Authority as part of efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19.

Field visits are being carried out in partnership with private healthcare providers and various government entities.

They are mainly focusing on densely populated areas where the virus can spread easily.

The measures are aimed at quickly identifying positive cases and separating them from people who are not infected.
