Passengers arriving from the three countries must have a negative COVID-19 test which was obtained within 48 hours of departure from approved labs in their respective countries.<\/p>\n

The UAE authority also said the passengers must undergo a Rapid PCR test at the airports of departure.<\/p>\n

On arrival in the UAE, they will be subjected to another PCR test.<\/p>\n

Travel restrictions were put in place by the Arab country in December last year, over the emergence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
