In Abu Dhabi, a high-tech laboratory has joined the nation's campaign to get school pupils back into classrooms across the country.
Biogenix Labs in Masdar City, operated by G42 Healthcare, is conducting saliva tests on children aged between four and 12.
The test is less invasive than the PCR method as it merely requires a person to spit into a cup.
More than 10,000 pupils in Abu Dhabi have already taken the test since a screening drive was launched in December.
Biogenix Labs said teams were always striving to improve the testing process.
The samples can stay overnight on a shelf and can be stored in a fridge for a week.
Children and elderly residents, who can also take the saliva test, are asked to not eat or drink for half an hour to 45 minutes before taking the test.
