The answers are brief

Where can I get tested? A COVID-19 test can be done in all public and private hospitals in Dubai.

Advice for people travelling from high-risk countries? “In general, we advise people coming from infected countries to self-quarantine for 14 days.”

Chances of reinfection? “Chances of re-infection following full recovery are not known as there is no medical information that can support this claim”.
