​The Ministry of Health and Prevention has joined forces with local health authorities to launch Alhosn, a contact-tracing app endorsed by the National Crisis & Emergency Management Authority, to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic and protect the community.

The app allows us to accelerate the process of containing the spread of the COVID-19 virus, by speeding up the contact-tracing process.

Alhosn is the official UAE app for contact tracing and health testing related to COVID-19. It provides you with access to test results and notifies you if you have been near confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Using a health color-coding system, Alhosn will help identify and allow those free from the virus to go to public spaces and workplaces. By using the app, you can help stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep your family, friends and colleagues safe.

Alhosn is available from the App Store or Google Play.
