Dubai International Airport will now carry out random PCR tests on passengers arriving on some flights, according to Dubai Media Office reports.
Passengers arriving from certain countries such as Brazil, India, Bangladesh, Russia, and Pakistan, for example, must undergo mandatory testing.

“PCR tests are mandatory for the flights mentioned on Emirates website,” said Dubai Media in a statement.
“However, as part of the extra precautionary measures, Dubai Airport may conduct random tests upon arrival for certain flights,” the statement added.
