Expats returning to UAE 'must show medical certificate', says report

  • United Arab Emirates: Tuesday, July 28 - 2009 at 11:41

UAE expatriates on vacation abroad will have to produce a medical certificate that proves they are not infected with H1N1 virus before returning to the country, Gulf News has reported, citing an unnamed source from the National Committee for Combating Swine Flu. The move will be implemented from August, the source said. 'Without this certificate, any person with swine flu symptoms will be prohibited from entering the country. Accordingly, any company or establishment will have the right to cancel sponsorship, if the worker conceals an infection intentionally,' the daily quoted the source as saying.
