Covid-19: How Dubai airport keeps the virus at bay

The Dubai International Airport (DXB) authorities have conducted more than four million on-site PCR Covid-19 tests of passengers in a bid to keep the airport premises safe for travellers as well as employees working at one of the world's busiest airports.

The airport has set up 86 PCR testing stations to carry out smooth and quick Covid-19 tests of millions of passengers arriving at the airport.

Though passenger traffic has dropped significantly due to Covid-19, the DXB still registered a decent number in the first quarter, reaching 5.75 million during the January-March period.
