With Sharjah stepping up the normalisation of all activities across various sectors, the Sharjah Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management Committee has announced a host of health guidelines and norms for those travelling through the ports of Sharjah in order to protect the wellbeing of both individuals and society.

The committee comprising the top officials of the Emirate emphasised the need for all travellers to and from Sharjah to adhere strictly to all health and safety norms and procedures stipulated by the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority in order to protect themselves and check the spread of COVID-19.

Travel is now permitted for all citizens and residents through the ports of Sharjah to or from any destination in accordance with the procedures of respective countries of origin, said the officials. All travellers must, however, assess the epidemiological or COVID-19 situation of the countries they are planning to visit. Both tourists and residents must ensure that they have adequate health insurance that covers all costs of treatment and isolation until the results of their COVID-19 medical test arrive.
