Dubai schools are requesting parents to fill out a travel declaration form in case students, parents or relatives have a recent travel history to select countries hit by the Covid-19 coronavirus over the last 28 days. According to copies of circulars sent out to the parents, schools have said these guidelines have been put in place by the Dubai Health Authority.

Children or relatives who have travelled to China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, Italy, and Japan have been requested to fill out the form and hand it over to the school administration.

GEMS Education and Taaleem are among the school groups that have issued the circular to parents. School officials have said the form is required to be completed if the family or a relative has a recent travel history to the above-mentioned countries.
