The new centre will bring together representatives from the Ministry of Health and Prevention and other relevant local authorities.
The centre will be responsible for preparing strategic plans and recommendations to combat pandemics, including Covid-19. It will also be tasked with developing rapid intervention plans in coordination with the public and private sectors.
This news follows yesterday’s announcement that the first drive-through coronavirus testing centres will be built in Dubai within the next 10 days. The UAE’s first testing centre, at Zayed Sports City in Abu Dhabi, has the ability to process 600 tests each day.
