New corona regulations have been introduced in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and vaccines have been banned in public places.
Citizens, resident foreigners and tourists will need to be vaccinated or shown proof of immunity to enter many places, including shopping malls, cafes and restaurants.
According to Arab News and the UAE’s official news agency, Abu Dhabi’s Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Committee has updated the admission procedures for vaccinated citizens, residents and visitors coming to Abu Dhabi from the UAE.
The statement said that people who have been vaccinated or are participating in the clinical trial of the vaccine can enter Abu Dhabi if they have a green pass or an active e-star icon on the Al Hassan app.
E-star icons will have to undergo a PCR test for seven days. Vaccine or clinical trial participants, if they have a Green Pass or Active E or Star Icon, will not need further tests upon arrival in Abu Dhabi and during their stay in the emirate.
Those coming from abroad will have to follow the relevant travel protocol for those who have not been vaccinated and if they come to Abu Dhabi, the first method of testing will apply to them.
Under this, they will have to undergo PCR test within 48 hours of entering the emirate or DPI test within 24 hours. If they stay in the emirate later, they will have to undergo additional tests.
