Abu Dhabi has removed the UK from its green list of travel destinations. The decision means unvaccinated passengers from the UK must quarantine in a residence or hotel for 10 days on arrival in Abu Dhabi. Vaccinated passengers from non-green list countries are tested on arrival and six days later. They are not required to quarantine. The test-on-arrival at Abu Dhabi airport is free, and the day six test is free in any clinic run by the public hospital group Seha. The updated list, which is effective from Monday, January 3, comes after a surge in Covid-19 cases in many countries, largely tied to the Omicron variant. Dubai has separate rules, including <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/health/2021/12/29/dubai-airport-introduces-covid-19-spot-checks-on-arrivals-to-help-limit-virus-spread/" target="_blank">testing on arrival</a> from some destinations. It requires only people who test positive to quarantine. On Saturday, the UAE government said it will ban unvaccinated Emiratis from travelling abroad from January 10. The decision was not extended to expats. <b>Live updates: follow the latest news on </b><a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/coronavirus/2021/11/29/omicron-live-updates-covid-variant-vaccine-test-cases-travel/"><b>Covid-19 variant Omicron</b></a> Albania Algeria Armenia Australia Austria Azerbaijan Bahrain Belarus Belgium Bosnia and Herzegovina Brazil Bulgaria Burma Cambodia Canada China Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Finland France Georgia Germany Greece Hong Kong (SAR) Hungary Indonesia Iran Iraq Israel Italy Japan Kazakhstan Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Latvia Luxembourg Malaysia Maldives Morocco Netherlands Norway Oman Papua New Guinea Philippines Poland Portugal Romania Republic of Ireland Saudi Arabia Serbia Seychelles Singapore Slovakia Slovenia South Korea Spain Sweden Switzerland Syria Taiwan, Province of China Tajikistan Thailand Tunisia Turkmenistan Ukraine United States of America Uzbekistan Yemen
