The move follows several government efforts to support the community amid the coronavirus pandemic, including opening up drive-thru test centers at selected locations.

The crown prince emphasized the importance of adequate access to testing facilities, announcing the new measure in a tweet.

“I applaud today’s launch of the National Home Testing Program for People of Determination. It is essential that the UAE continues to ensure all segments of the community have adequate access to testing facilities,” said Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.
