COVID-19 : United Arab Emirates, UAE, finally lift travel ban between Dubai and Nigeria, South Africa, India.
The United Arab Emirates, UAE, has finally lifted the ban on travel between Dubai and Nigeria after a protracted disagreement between the two countries on Covid-19 protocols.
Recall that UAE had insisted on travelers from Nigeria undergoing several other covid-19 tests after the initial test in Nigeria. The development was announced via a message from the Dubai Media Office. The message noted that passengers from Nigeria are now expected to “ have received a negative result for a PCR test taken within 48 hours before departure.”
“Passengers are also expected to present a negative PCR test certificate with a OR code from laboratories approved by the Nigerian government, while also undergoing the same test upon arrival at the Dubai airport”.
Reacting to the resumption of normal flights between Nigeria and Dubai yesterday, Emirates in a statement said :
“Emirates welcomes the latest protocols and measures announced by Dubai’s Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management to allow the safe resumption of passenger travel from South Africa, Nigeria and India to Dubai.”
