By The UAE government has eased the necessity of pre-departure rapid PCR tests at the airport for travellers travelling to Dubai and Sharjah from Pakistan and three different nations, as per a representative of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
In any case, travellers from Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka will need to present a valid negative PCR test authentication for a test led at an approved facility within 48 hours of takeoff.
“The 48-hour duration will begin from the time the sample is submitted to a research facility,” CAA representative Saifullah said. “Travelers will likewise go through a PCR test on arrival in Dubai and will self-quarantine until the results are delivered.”
FlyDubai and Emirates additionally gave booklets that affirmed that a rapid PCR test led six hours before takeoff would not be needed, from this point forward.
The UAE specialists had made it obligatory for Pakistani travellers to get a negative rapid PCR test conducted within four hours preceding the takeoff of a flight for Dubai in August last year.
In the interim, the new travel rules additionally expressed that transiting travellers are not expected to submit a Covid-19 PCR test authentication except if it is commanded by their final destination.
Also, UAE nationals are excluded from taking a Covid-19 PCR test before departure from Dubai. “They should be tested on arrival in Dubai, independent of their valid negative Covid-19 RT-PCR certificate from the starting place,” the travel update given by the UAE said.
In like manner, kids younger than 12 and travellers who have a moderate or severe disability are additionally absolved from taking a Covid-19 RT-PCR test, the travel update said.
