Authorities in the United Arab Emirates have released updated information regarding the capital’s entrance requirements, stating that immunised tourists, unlike residents and citizens, do not need to present proof of a booster shot in order to enter Abu Dhabi.
The tourism-specific adjustment comes as questions abound about entrance limits in Abu Dhabi, which has taken a more stringent approach to coronavirus containment than its more liberal neighbour, Dubai.
Due to the epidemic, Abu Dhabi has built a hard border with Dubai, requiring all drivers to stop for vaccinations and COVID checks on what was once a broad, empty roadway before the virus struck.
Commuters have been inconvenienced by ever-changing restrictions, with drivers from Dubai who had not got booster shots being turned away from the capital last week. To be considered completely vaccinated and maintain a “green status” on the government’s health app, all citizens and residents requesting admission must now produce proof of a booster dose.
The new regulation does not apply to overseas visitors, according to an updated Abu Dhabi tourism website, who can enter the city-state after receiving both dosages. The news was first announced by state media on Monday.
