Abu Dhabi updates home quarantine rules for arriving passengers and residents

Abu Dhabi authorities announced an update to quarantine rules in the emirate on Sunday.
Vaccinated travellers arriving in Abu Dhabi from countries not on its "green list" will now quarantine for five days instead of 10.

Arrivals from the 23 countries on the green list already do not need to quarantine, under Abu Dhabi's coronavirus regulations.

Officials set out a series of scenarios depending on a traveller's country of origin and Covid-19 vaccine status.

These include a PCR test on arrival and subsequent tests.
