Beginning from Monday, February 28, 2022, the green pass on the Alhosn app was no longer a requirement to enter Abu Dhabi from within the UAE. Also, EDE scanners were removed from entry points to the emirate too.

Also, vaccinated travellers do not need to conduct a pre-departure PCR test when heading to the UAE, provided that they have a Covid-19 vaccination certificate with a QR code on it. Unvaccinated travellers bound for the UAE must show a negative PCR test conducted within 48 hours of departure, or a recovery certificate with a QR code that confirms they have recovered from the virus within a month of the date of travel.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Dr. Taher Al Ameri, official spokesperson of the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA), noted that the number of Covid-19 cases and deaths in the UAE have witnessed a significant decline, due to the joint efforts between relevant authorities in containing the pandemic, according to news agency WAM.
