Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (Sena) completed around 20,000 coronavirus tests for mall and shop
employees across Abu Dhabi.
The initiative of Seha the UAE’s largest healthcare network, also enhanced the employees’ awareness about Covid-19, its symptoms and how to appropriately follow the outlined precautionary measures, said a Seha press
release.
This was done in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (Added) who issued a circular to reopen shopping malls in adherence to strict guidelines for the health and safety of employees, under the instruction of the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA).
Mohammed Hawas Al Sadid, CEO of Ambulatory Healthcare Services at Seha, said, “Since the outbreak of Covid-19, we have been working closely with the UAE’s leadership and other government entities to minimise the spread of the virus and protect our community.
“As the Emirate of Abu Dhabi now prepares for its shopping malls to reopen, the safety and wellbeing of their employees and the community of Abu Dhabi remains our top priority,” he said.
Al Sadid added, “Our network, facilities and professionals are committed to ensure the re-opening of malls is in adherence to the guidelines and precautionary measures established by ADDED.”
The mall and shop employees visited seven of SEHA’s drive-through screening facilities across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, located in Abu Dhabi city, Al Wathba, Al Bahia, Al Ain and Al Dhafra over the weekend to undergo the COVID-19 test and ensure they are healthy before returning to work.
