Last week, the airlines had made the negative COVID-19 result mandatory for travellers returning to India from UAE, starting August 21. As of now, the new rule is applicable for those coming from Sharjah and Abu Dhabi airports.
Similarly, people returning to Dubai must apply for an entry permit on the website of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreign Affairs - Dubai (GDRFA-Dubai). The test must be done in a recognised government facility.
For returnees to India from UAE, it is also mandatory to install COVID-19 DXB Smart App in smartphones. For those carrying the printed copy of their COVID-19 negative results, there’s no need to remain in the mandatory 14-day quarantine.
