A spring booster is offered to the over-75s, care home residents and immunosuppressed people
coronavirus1 day ago
Dubai healthcare workers, who were in close contact with Covid-19 patients, have been exempted from mandatory quarantine.
Dubai Healthcare Authority (DHA) said in a circular that the decision has been made in line with the directives from the Covid-19 Command and Control Centre in Dubai.
Healthcare employees can avoid quarantine if: Contact healthcare workers are free of symptoms; the primary series of vaccination and the booster dose have been taken; the primary series of vaccinations have been completed and they had earlier been infected with Covid-19.
Alternatively, healthcare workers should’ve taken the primary series of vaccinations, provided they are not exceeding the limited period for booster since the second dose.
