Al Hosn is the UAE’s official app for contact tracing and health status related to COVID-19. On the Al Hosn app, you will be able to receive:

• COVID-19 test results and a record of all previous COVID-19 results with their dates
• a notification if you have been in contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19
• vaccination information, including the type of vaccine you have taken and the date of dose given.

The app also facilitates sharing test reports and vaccination certificates.

How it works

Al Hosn generates a unique personal QR code, following a three colour-coding system: grey, green or red on the completion of your vaccination and validity of your RT-PCR test result. Find details here.
