Travellers can now get tested for COVID-19 in the comfort of their home in Abu Dhabi.

Etihad Airways has joined forces with Mediclinic, which will be providing a team of highly trained medical professionals to carry out the testing services.

This comes as some destinations may require a negative coronavirus PCR test result before departure.

The service has also been made available to those crossing the Abu Dhabi border from other emirates to reach Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Meanwhile, individuals looking to travel during the summer period are being advised to check up-to-date requirements for their destination country.
