Residents of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) returning from abroad and those wishing to enter the capital must first test negative for COVID-19, the state news agency reported Monday.
Beginning July 1, travelers cannot board a UAE-bound plane without first showing proof they are not infected with the coronavirus, WAM reported. Under the new rules, residents must receive a negative test result at least 72 hours before their arrival.
