If you test positive for #COVID19 in the UAE, report it to the health authority

If you live in the UAE, you’re being reminded by the UAE government that if you test positive for COVID-19 you must report it to the health authority – or you could face a fine.
The Federal Public Prosecution in the UAE has clarified these rules in a tweet this week. Failure to inform the correct authorities can result in fines between Dhs10,000 and Dhs50,000 and can even result in imprisonment. If you test positive you must visit the Ministry of Health and Prevention or other authorised health authorities to receive treatment, so the UAE can continue to stop the spread of the infection. 
The UAE has launched a vaccination campaign with the aim of vaccinating half of the population by the end of March and more than four million residents and citizens have already had the jab. Everyone aged 16 and over is eligible to receive the vaccine. 
However, at the moment elderly and vulnerable people are being given priority for vaccinations across the country.
