Dubai Wajibkan 2x Tes PCR Negatif Mulai 31 Januari 2021

Dubai selama pandemi COVID-19 berlangsung bisa dibilang sangat terbuka bagi pengunjung internasional. Tidak sedikit orang yang saya kenal yang memutuskan untuk pergi ke Dubai untuk berlibur di tengah pandemi ini.

Sayangnya, hal tersebut akan segera berubah karena meningkatnya kasus COVID-19 di Dubai & Uni Emirat Arab. Sektor pariwisata diduga kuat berkontribusi dalam peningkatan kasus baru COVID-19.

Efektif mulai 31 Januari 2021, Emirates mengumumkan bahwa seluruh penumpang yang akan memasuki Dubai wajib memiliki hasil tes PCR negatif yang diambil dalam 72 jam sebelum keberangkatan.

Penumpang dari sejumlah negara tertentu yang dianggap beresiko tinggi (termasuk Indonesia) akan diwajibkan untuk menjalani PCR tes ketika sampai di bandara Dubai.

Penutup

Dalam rangka meredam angka kasus baru COVID-19, Dubai akhirnya menerapkan aturan baru untuk semua pengunjung internasional. Spesifik bagi pemegang paspor Indonesia, setidaknya 2x tes PCR harus dijalankan agar bisa memasuki Dubai.

Saya rasa aturan baru ini akan berkontribusi dalam mengurangi angka pengunjung ke Dubai untuk beberapa saat kedepan. Traveling internasional sepertinya belum akan kembali seperti semula hingga waktu yang lama.
