This Dubai hotel is offering free COVID-19 test to its guests

A hotel in Dubai is offering free COVID-19 tests to facilitate the stay of their guests. This means that you can rest easy when it comes to choosing a hotel when in Dubai amid the Coronavirus crisis. Dubai’s popular hotel Atlantis, The Palm, has announced that all international guests choosing to stay five or more nights in the hotel will be able to undergo free COVID-19 tests in-house.
Reportedly, the hotel has partnered with leading hospitals in the Emirates, to ensure guests get their tests done for free in the hotel so that their vacation is not disturbed in any way.
Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Atlantis Dubai Timothy Kelly issued a statement regarding this and stated that they are continuously making efforts to meet the needs of their guests during this pandemic. He added that with their on-site medical centre, the new PCR tests will help tourists enjoy sightseeing and avoid any travel inconvenience.
Apart from this, the free test will further help tourists to return to their home destination without going through any hassle, as many countries have now mandated a COVID-19 PCR test, no more than 96 hours before their departure, which is to be shown at the check-in. The Managing Director also added that those with severe disability or children under the age of 12 will be exempted from the COVID-19 test. Another important thing to note here is that the free testing’s results will be made available to the guests within 24 hours.
Kelly also mentioned that the latest initiative is in line with the Emirates Airlines’ free medical cover for COVID-19-related expenses, which has been designed to motivate people to travel during this crisis.
