resulted in an increased demand for quality and timely testing. For this reason, Abu Dhabi stepped in to support international testing efforts by providing laboratory analysis of Covid-19 samples from outside the UAE,” the DoH said. “The UAE is one of the top countries worldwide in terms of PCR testing capacity, number of tests conducted per capita, as well as the total number of daily laboratory tests for Covid-19 per capita.” Since the beginning of the pandemic, Abu Dhabi increased daily tests from about 1,000 to 170,000 per day. There are 22 laboratories processing samples and results are given in just four hours.
