DUBAI: Abu Dhabi will temporarily suspend the use of the green pass on the Alhosn application, which permits vaccinated individuals entry into public places, after several reports of technical issues, the emirate’s Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee announced yesterday.
The committee said the app had stopped working due to a surge of new users, adding that its technical team was working to fix the issue as soon as possible.
“Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee has reviewed the causes of technical issues faced by some Alhosn app users, resulting from a surge in new subscriptions, and has overseen efforts by the app’s team to restore the service to all users as quickly as possible,” the Abu Dhabi Media Office said on Twitter.
The suspension of the green pass will continue until all app services resume.
For individuals who want to enter Abu Dhabi, only a text message that shows they have a negative PCR test result is enough for those facing technical issues on the app to be granted entry.
