Those working in Abu Dhabi will now need to obtain a PCR test every 30 days to maintain Al Hosn Green Status, rather than the previous 14 days.
However, masks will still be required in medical facilities and hospitals, mosques, places of worship, and public transport, NCEMA said in a tweet.
Face mask wearing at schools will now also become optional. Those suspected of infection will still be required to wear a face mask.
