All passengers departing Dubai will be tested instantly before boarding. And of course, strict controls are in place for arrivals at Dubai. Unlike UK airports. Even their lockdown is far more rigid than the UK's.

and all these quick tests are not reliable at all!

I am convinced (sarcasm!), that UAE is testing all these poor people in these labour camps, where they live together in groups in very small rooms. that is the best place for a virus to spread all over.
Furthermore I am convinced (sarcasm!), that everybody who cannot effort medical care in UAE will get free support.
Still the rates of new people with Covid-19 is increasing in the UAE, only step by step, but it is increasing, but with this hard lockdown.

So just be realistic, they will open the business regardless of the virus, otherwise UAE will be back to their 50īs in the next months
