HOWEVER, if a passenger has NOT taken a coronavirus test, they must undergo a PCR Test at Dubai Airports, which is being conducted for free

This step has been taken by the Dubai Tourism authorities as part of the extensive measures that the emirate is taking to combat the ongoing global novel coronavirus pandemic.
