Dubai: Abu Dhabi will likely end the quarantine for all international arrivals starting from July 1, local media quoted a government official.

"It will be similar to the Dubai system - the PCR protocol will be different from high-risk to low-risk destinations. Quarantine will not be an option," Gulf News quoted Ali Al Shaiba, executive director of Tourism and Marketing, DCT Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi currently have a green list and people coming from these countries need to take PCR test on arrival and on day 6, without the need to quarantine, if they are vaccinated. If not vaccinated then one more PCR test is required on day 12.

The emirate requires travelers to quarantine for 10 days if they are travelling from a non-green-list country and not vaccinated.

"We are announcing an extended green list - this green list will cover a majority of the markets that we are tapping into," said Al Shaiba to Gulf News. "Hopefully, by the first of July, everybody will be allowed to travel to Abu Dhabi"
