Abu Dhabi makes it easier to report COVID-19 cases among workers

Friday, 17 April 2020 23:19

Authorities in Abu Dhabi are taking further steps to detect COVID-19 cases in workers’ accommodations and industrial zones.

A new operations centre has been set up in the emirate for handling reports and calls about suspected cases among workers.

The facility will help diagnose infections in the early stages itself and also ensure that patients are treated as soon as possible.

All suspected cases should be reported by calling the centre on 909.
