Meanwhile, it was announced yesterday that the Dh50 Covid-19 test at Dubai-Abu Dhabi border is only for families for the time being. The new screening facility provides results in only five minutes.
It was also announced that Indian passengers travelling to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah have different requirements when it comes to the validity of the Covid-19 test they take before travel. According to a Facebook post by Air India Express, for Indians travelling to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the PCR test can be taken up to 96 hours before departure. For expats travelling to Sharjah, the test should have been taken no later than 72 hours before departure. Furthermore, the test should be taken from a government-approved laboratory.
