The National Screening Programme in Abu Dhabi is continuing its free, door-to-door COVID-19 testing in the capital.

The initiative is aimed at targetting densely populated areas.

It is part of efforts by the authorities to ensure everyone has access to free tests in a bid to curb the spread of the virus. 

In a video posted by Abu Dhabi Government Media Office, a paramedic says they will continue working until they reach zero COVID-19 cases.
