Al Hosn green pass validity extended
ABU DHABI: The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) on Saturday issued a circular to all ministries and federal entities, amending some procedures aimed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic at the level of the federal government.
The circular is in line with the directives of the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA).
It states that the validity of Al Hosn green pass to enter ministries and federal entities has been extended from 14 to 30 days for those fully vaccinated, effective from 29th April, 2022.
This comes in line with a maintained low COVID-19 infection rate, and with an aim to unify directives related to precautionary measures of COVID-19, in coordination with NCEMA and the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP).
The authority called on the ministries and federal authorities to abide by the procedures mentioned in its circular, and use Al Hosn app to ensure that employees and visitors are vaccinated, prior to permiting them entry to the federal government entities.
FAHR also pointed out that these procedures and provisions are subject to modification and change in accordance with the latest requirements of health authorities, and in coordination with the relevant emergency and crisis authorities.
Recently, the Us-based Global Excellence Award (GEA) awarded Al Hosn app the “App Of The Year 2021” in the COVID-19 Response category.
The achievement is the result of the collaboration between the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP), Alhosn National Health System, and the health sector at large. It also reflects the advanced level of the UAE’S health system in the digital transformation, as well as the efficiency of the relentless efforts made to curb the spread of the pandemic.
Global Excellence Award is one of the most prestigious awards that uniquely established itself at the global level. Obtaining the GEA clearly reflects the high-quality standards of the winner, thanks to the great reputation of the award, with specific focus on the benefits to individuals, customers, employees, and society in general.
The Al Hosn UAE app is the official app for COVID-19 testing, vaccination certificates and exemptions and is one of the modern national digital systems launched by the UAE government since the outbreak of the pandemic.
The multilingual app (Arabic, English, Hindi) has high confidence, credibility and reliability inside and outside the country.
