Authorities in the UAE have tightened Covid safety measures as new variants like Omicron spread around the world.
According to Dr. Noura Al Ghaithi, a government spokesperson, the country has imposed restrictions on travel from some countries where infections have surged.
She was referring to the recent revised travel requirements for those coming on direct flights from Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda and Ethiopia.
These include having a negative Covid-19 test result obtained within 48 hours and a Rapid-PCR test at the airport within six hours of departure.

The official called on fully vaccinated residents to get a booster shot six months after their second dose. Citing studies, she said booster shots can help reduce the risk of infections, complications and death from Covid.
Dr Noura cautioned residents against dropping the guard even if they are vaccinated. They must continue to wear masks, avoid crowded places and maintain a safe social distance.
