Visitors to the EXPO 2020 World Exhibition, starting on October 1, 2021 in Dubai, will be required to present at the entrance certificates of vaccination against COVID-19 or negative results of PCR testing for coronavirus.
In this case, the shelf life of PCR tests will be 72 hours. Any foreign vaccines approved by the UAE authorities will be recognized by the organizers. Visitors who have not been vaccinated will be able to undergo PCR testing at a screening center adjacent to the EXPO 2020 exhibition town.
Upon presentation of a ticket or subscription to the exhibition, testing will be free. The organizers of the exhibition also announced that a network of testing points has been deployed throughout the city (a list of points can be found on the official website of the exhibition).
