The third phase of the sanitisation programme and Covid-19 testing in the Musaffah area of Abu Dhabi commences on Wednesday, May 27 with Block 16.
The programme is being implemented by the Department of Health, in partnership with relevant entities.

This comes after the success of the first two phases of the campaign, which included 6 blocks in Musaffah. Residents welcomed the procedures, and expressed their appreciation for the efforts being made to protect their health and safety.
Daily commercial activities will continue as usual. Entry and exit will be restricted while the area is being sanitised.
No legal action will be taken against those violating visa regulations.

Sanitisation and testing will take place in a methodical manner - one block at a time - and continue until all tests are complete.
Intensive awareness programmes will be offered in targeted languages, in order to increase awareness of preventative and precautionary measures.
