Abu Dhabi has removed the following 6 countries from the green list starting tomorrow Wednesday, August 18.

1. Armenia
2. Austria
3. Israel
4. Italy

So this means passengers entering the capital from the aforementioned countries will need to wear a tracker wristband.

• For vaccinated travellers: They’ll have to take a PCR test on arrival, quarantine for 7 days and take a PCR test on the 6th day.
• For unvaccinated travellers: They’ll have to take a PCR test on arrival, quarantine for 10 days and take a PCR test on the 9th day.
