Authorities have relocated the centre for the removal of Covid-19 quarantine wristbands in Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi Health Services (Seha) on Wednesday said people must visit the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre instead of Mina Zayed on the city's Corniche.

The wristband ensures travellers arriving into the emirate from abroad adhere to a mandatory quarantine period to prevent the spread of Covid-19. It is also used for people who test positive and close contacts.

Seha advised people to use "Entrance G" at Adnec to access the centre, which is open from 8am to 10pm.
