GCC citizens wanting to enter the UAE must undergo medical checkups on arrival and stay in quarantine for 14 days.
Meanwhile, people and organizations that violate restrictions imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19 face legal action, UAE’s Attorney General Hamad Saif Al-Shamsi said.
The rules include the completion of 14 days self-quarantine for all arrivals from abroad. Those who leave their homes before the quarantine is over face legal actions for placing others at risk, state news agency WAM reported.
The UAE is increasing regulations aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus, including enacting temporary visa suspensions, closing entry to resident expats who hold the relevant visas, and banning UAE nationals from traveling abroad.
