How To Enter Dubai During Covid-19 – Eligibility Criteria.

Basically, friend, what’s required is that you should be Coronavirus-free. And you must be able to prove this with a PCR Covid-19 test. In other words, if you’re visiting Dubai, you’re required to take PCR test for Coronavirus. You must be negative if you must go to Dubai. And you must visit with your PCR Coronavirus test result.

If you visited the city without the test result, you’d be sadly quarantined for the test. Once the test result is out, and you’re found to be negative with Coronavirus, you’d be let to enter the city. But if you are positive with the Wuhan virus, you’d be sent to the hospital for treatment, although you’d be responsible for the bill.

As part of the requirements, you’d also have to download the COVID-19 DXB app. This app was launched by the government for the collection of travelers’ details.

Update: An entry permit is now required to enter into Dubai. You can enter into any other Emirate in the UAE without this requirement.

How Can I Protect Myself from Contracting Coronavirus in Dubai

This question is a very good one. Yes, you want to visit Dubai, but you clearly aren’t trying to kill yourself, right? So how do you protect yourself?

Coronavirus or Covid-19 is a respiratory disease which attacks the lungs. A South Korean doctor also said they see that the virus also attacks the heart. Because it originated from Wuhan, Beijing, China, it is also sometimes referred to as the Wuhan virus. I will not dig deep into technical details. But an important fact here is that Covid-19 infects the human body through the eyes, the nostrils and the mouth. There are claims too that it also gets in through the ears. This claim gains credence considering the inability to explain how the Wuhan virus has infected some people.

This information should have equipped you with certain steps on how to protect yourself already. But that’s not all. Let’s see more.

• The virus is transmitted by physical contact.
• It may be airborne for up to three (3) hours.
• Its lifespan varies depending on where it’s hosted. Depending on where it’s on, it could live up to three (3) days.
• Hot environments is unfavorable to it. It dies faster in such a condition.
• It doesn’t only get out of infected people by sneezing or couching. Talking also issues it out in different micro-droplets.
• Airtight rooms are especially dangerous with Coronavirus as they can hold the virus for longer periods. If air is freely moving, then the virus can get flushed away.

Steps To Protect against Coronavirus

So how do you protect yourself against it? See the following steps.

• Stay 2 meters or at least 6 feet away from people. This way, if they were infected, the droplets issuing from their mouths can hardly infect you.
• Mask up. Wear a face or nose mask, always. If you can cover your eyes and ears too, that’d be very useful.
• Always go out with your hand sanitizer and always sanitize your hands before and especially after touching people or public things like money, rails etc.
• Closely related to the foregoing point, frequently wash your hands with effective soap for at least 20 seconds.
• Avoid palming your face in the course of the day.
• Disinfect your environment if you can.
• If you’d be spending much time out, you should then be consuming alkaline-rich food.
• Pray and mark yourself verbally with the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, in Jesus Christ’s name; so that the virus passes you without harm.
