ABU DHABI: A drive-through coronavirus screening centre in the UAE capital Abu Dhabi has become a go-to destination for many wanting reassurance during the pandemic. The facility, believed to be the first of its kind in the Gulf, greets around 600 people a day in the 12 hours it is in service. The test is free for the elderly, pregnant women and anyone showing symptoms of COVID-19. Others can get tested for 370 dirhams ($100).
