ABU DHABI TRAVEL UPDATE

NEW WRISTBAND RULE

Passengers arriving in Abu Dhabi are now required to wear a wristband while they complete their mandatory 14day quarantine, Etihad Airways has confirmed. The medically approved tag, which tracks the wearer’s location, is given to residents and citizens arriving from all countries after they clear immigration. Exemptions include passengers aged under 18 and over 60, those suffering from a chronic illness and those with a diplomatic passport.

COVID-19 TEST REMINDER

Abu Dhabi Authorities are reminding residents that if they return to the emirate via Dubai, they must present a negative COVID-19 test and take another swab test on the sixth day to ensure they are virus free. Regulations also state that any UAE resident entering Abu Dhabi must show a negative PCR or laser test within 48 hours of receiving the result.
