Additional safety measures connected with Covid19 spread have been introduced in UAE. Every tourist arriving at the airport of Emirates must go through Covid 19 express test right after landing. In order to minimize time spent for this process, they use dogs at the airports. 

Dogs are working now in all the airports of UAE and help to define the symptoms of COVID19. 

In fact, there is no direct contact between the passenger and a dog. After the material taken during the test is delivered to the isolated premises specially trained dogs can find the infection within seconds. Representatives of police are present during the whole process of the test.

Transit passengers arriving to the airports of UAE are also obliged to take the test. They also must fill in a special Health Declaration and hand it over at the registration.  

During flight to UAE all the passengers must fill in a document, where they provide their consent to agree to immediate isolation in case coronavirus is detected. 

Some of the passengers may be requested to take another COVID19 test. In this case a passenger must stay in the hotel or another location till the results of the test are ready. If the results are positive a traveller will have to follow the previously mentioned Consent and to download a special APP to his or her mobile device. 

If a passenger is leaving Dubai, a confirmation of no COVID19 must be presented. This document is valid for 96 hours only. This requirement must be met by everybody who travels to the EU and Great Britain. 

Stay safe!
