UAE COVID19 Tests Surge Causes Delays in Results

As COVID-19 cases have been increasing in the UAE, people are rushing to get tested ahead of their return to work and school.

The high demand for PCR tests is causing longer waiting times at testing centres, with turnaround for results being hugely impacted.

Staffing levels continue to be hit at businesses and schools across the country.

Head of Operations and Business at Gargash Hospital, Lubna Naeem, said on Dubai Eye Radio, labs are dealing with absences, adding to the delays.
