The Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee on Sunday said it has expanded the roll-out of EDE scanners following a successful pilot phase and approval by the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH).
The DoH earlier said the EDE scanners were effective and viable detectors of the Covid-19 virus.
The decision is part of the emirate’s commitment to continuously enhancing Covid-19 precautionary measures that protect public health using the latest technology.
The EDE scanning technology will also play a key role in limiting Covid-19 transmission by establishing safe zones that are subject to a series of preventive procedures.
According to authorities, if the scanner identifies a person as being potentially infected with Covid-19, they will not be permitted to enter the stated places. They must follow the approved protocol and take a PCR test within 24 hours.
