Covid PCR test cost slashed further in Abu Dhabi

The cost for a Covid-19 PCR test has been reduced dramatically at all the centres operated by Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA).

The authority announced on Saturday that a test will now cost Dhs85 – down from Dhs250.

“We have reduced the price of the PCR nose swab test effective immediately across all SEHA testing centres,” it confirmed on Twitter.

خفضنا سعر فحص مسحة الأنف. السعر الجديد ساري المفعول فوراً في جميع مراكز صحة للفحص.

The move comes after SEHA reduced the cost of the test from Dhs370 to Dhs250 in September.

Abu Dhabi requires all UAE residents as well as visitors to take a PCR test prior to entry into the emirate.

Last month it also revised the regulations, requiring residents and visitors to take a PCR test on the fourth and eighth day of entering Abu Dhabi.
