Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee has updated the procedure to enter the emirate from within the UAE, for vaccinated citizens, residents and visitors, with effect from Friday, August 20, 2021.
According to the updated procedures, those vaccinated and participants in a clinical trial can enter Abu Dhabi if they have green pass and an active ‘E’ or ‘star’ icon on Al Hosn app. A PCR test is required to show the ‘E’/ ‘star’ icon, which remains active for seven days.
No further testing after entering Abu Dhabi is required for those vaccinated and participants in a clinical trial with green pass and an active ‘E’ or ‘star’ icon on Al Hosn app if remaining in the emirate. Visitors from abroad should also follow the relevant travel protocol.
The current testing procedures for those unvaccinated to enter the emirate remains the same. This requires a PCR test within 48 hours of entry or a DPI test within 24 hours of entry, as well as multiple additional tests if remaining in the emirate.
