Dubai Venues Told to Admit Vaccinated Guests Through Al Hosn App

A top official said that clubs and live venues in Dubai must ask for proof of COVID-19 using the Al Hosn App or electronic certificate.

"Everyone who got the vaccine received an electronic certificate on their devices," Dr Al Suwaidi said, who leads vaccination and testing at Dubai's Covid-19 command and control centre, during a call on Dubai Eye radio's Business Breakfast.

"That's linked to Al Hosn, that also can prove that you have your vaccine completed.”

"Now we have an electronic system in place, everybody has an e-certificate that they could show," she said.

"There are no physical papers – we don't encourage that."

This move comes after Dubai announced resuming events and activities under specific guidelines. The rules are the same for tourists visiting bars, clubs and live music and sports venues.

Vaccinated tourists can download the Al Hosn app and register using the "unified number" (UID) listed on their visa, or use an electronic certificate.
