Other upgraded features include a live QR code and travel testing information. The update comes as Abu Dhabi prepares to introduce new rules from August 20 that will restrict the access of those who remain unvaccinated to some public places in the emirate. Proof of vaccination – which can be demonstrated using Al Hosn app – will be required to enter venues such as shopping centres, restaurants, cafes and all other retail outlets, including those not within a shopping centre. Also included are gyms, health clubs, recreational and sports centres, resorts, museums, cultural centres and theme parks, as well as universities, institutes, public and private schools and nurseries in the emirate. The directive was set out by the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee in June. The decision does not apply to those with a vaccination exemption registered on Al Hosn app, nor to children aged 15 and under. Brig Khamis Al Kaabi, from the federal immigration authority ICA, said during a televised Covid-19 briefing on Tuesday that tourists and new residents who were vaccinated abroad would be able to upload their vaccine certificates from August 15. This will be particularly important, as Al Hosn is expected to be widely used when Abu Dhabi introduces its restrictions on access to public places. The app is also being increasingly used for travel, with several airlines accepting it as official proof of PCR tests when passengers check-in at airports. The UAE has pushed forward with a nationwide vaccination campaign in an effort to bolster public health. More than 17 million vaccine doses have been administered to the public, with more than 72 per cent of the population receiving two doses.
