Abu Dhabi Health Services (SEHA) has reduced the prices for Covid-19 PCR tests to Dhs250 – down from Dhs370 – across all its centres, it announced on Thursday.

The new pricing applies to all of SEHA’s drive-through testing centres across the country.

“For your convenience, we have reduced the price of the PCR nose swab test effective immediately across all SEHA testing centres,” the UAE’s largest healthcare provider said in a brief statement on Twitter.

Last week, Abu Dhabi announced updated rules surrounding the mandatory Covid-19 testing requirements to enter the emirate.

Entry will now be permitted within 48 hours of receiving a negative Covid-19 PCR test or within 48 hours of receiving a negative laser DPI test to screen for the virus, without the need for the DPI test to be accompanied by a PCR test.

Visitors and residents entering and staying in the emirate for six consecutive days or more must also undergo a Covid-19 PCR test on the sixth day of their stay.
