Dubai Will Reopen To Visitors In July (With Testing)

July is way too hot. Maybe if they are still open in the fall

Damn, here in the USA we really need one of those "Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management" things like they have in Dubai.

With a new Crisis and Disaster each day, where's Don Junior or Rudy when we really need them?

if every country has this system in place, travel shouldn't be an issue. if people want to politicize rules during this time, they should just stay where they are and not cause trouble for the rest of us period. as with most people in this game, I want to go anyplace just to be free but have no issue with following rules.

Just want to say I read your column and enjoy it everyday.

Curious to see how Qatar and Akbar al Baker are gonna trump this!

So did you get tested before you left on you cross country jaunt?

Will you quarantine on return?

Obviously you don’t have to answer that question as it’s a private medical matter but you do spend a lot of time lauding travel testing regimes in other countries.

I think, though that given you live in a state and a country that tries to downplay the severity of this issue; in the former case by firing a statistician who wouldn’t manipulate the numbers and in the latter lead by someone, and let’s be charitable here, jokes about suppressing testing; you have to take personal responsibility and show some leadership here.

Conditions haven’t materially changed in America since the stay home, flatten the curve message went out. The infection has moved around a bit, some big states have done well smaller states are starting to see the issues New York did.

So you have to take responsibility, test and quarantine on your return and if you got sick you’re going to have to inform everyone you interacted with, because it appears the government won’t do that for you. Stay home was the mantra and it should have moved on to Test Trace Isolate but those systems have not been put in place.

The only responsible thing to do Is stay home. No unnecessary trips until there are effective treatments, a vaccine or at the very least an effective tracing regime.

I totally realise that this is your livelihood, and travel is my hobby (except when it is also business), however you have the position, power and standing to say ‘Stay Home, it’s not worth risking health and lives of people I interact with’

Think you have a typo in the sentence below. First positive does not really fit there

"They must commit to isolating themselves until test results are $positive$, and in the event of a positive test, will need to isolate for 14 days"
