The country’s National Emergency and Crisis Management Authority said the lifting of the restrictions will take effect from August 5.
The country in January had announced a ban on transit flights from Nigeria as it battled a rise in COVID-19 cases.
However, the announcement will allow passengers from the six countries; India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Uganda, and Nigeria to be able to transit through UAE airports, as they present negative PCR tests taken seventy two hours before departure.
