Free Covid-19 tests for residents of wilayat in Musandam

Muscat: Explaining the rationale for choosing Musandam governorate for the expanded immunisation campaign, His Excellency Dr. Ahmed bin Mohammad Al-Saeedi, the Minister of Health, said that the choice was due to the geographical distance and the large scale movement of people from the governorate.

He also announced that laboratory tests for Covid-19 will be provided free of charge to all residents of the wilayat of Madha in Musandam Governorate at a rate of 4 times per year.

He indicated that the extended immunisation campaign targets about 16,500 people and lasts for two weeks stating that more than two thousand people have been vaccinated in the governorate and that Musdandam has high rates of vaccination among the target groups within the national campaign for immunisation against Covid-19.
