The cost has been slashed from AED 370 to AED 250.

SEHA added that the test is still free of charge for people with chronic diseases, pregnant women, people of determination, as well as UAE citizens and their domestic workers.

It's also free for people aged 50 and above, in addition to those displaying symptoms, and those who have come into contact with positive cases.

SEHA currently operates a network of over 20 COVID-19 screening centres across the UAE.
