  • Those coming to Abu Dhabi through any UAE port or entry point must take a PCR test and register under a quarantine system to receive an electronic wristband;
  • On day 12 of the isolation period, the traveler has to undergo further PCR test. If a negative test is confirmed, the wristband can be removed on day 14;
  • Travelers spent less than 14 days in another emirate before coming to Abu Dhabi are also required to adhere to the regulation but the days spent outside the capital will be deducted from the total quarantine period.
