Updated Regulations for UAE"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Flights to UAE have been active during lockdown phase 3\u2026 Only 1 problem! In order for the relocation of AVI(live animals) to be accepted into the UAE, a new annexure was necessary for acceptance.<\/p>\n<p>The new requirement required endorsement from the South African Government Vet, stating that pets had not come into any contact with anyone affected by COVID-19 in the 14 days preceding travel, understandably this is a very arduous responsibility and requirement, it would be nigh impossible for a Government Vet to verify that the pet had not been out on a walk and had been in contact by a COVID-19 person.<\/p>\n<p>Government State Veterinarians in South Africa made the decision that because this request was not measurable they would not sign off, resulting in a complete halt in Pet Relocation to the UAE.<\/p>\n<p>Fear NOT!<\/p>\n<p>A way forward for shipment of pets to the UAE with the COVID-19 annexure compliance has been created. We thank the Department of Agriculture in South Africa, for their concerted and extended efforts to ensure they reached a protocol to allow export of dogs and cats to the UAE again.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION: What is required for the new COVID-19 annexure?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The pet must undergo 14 days isolation with a registered government pre-export facility OR on the premises of a registered private vet facility in the case of the latter, the private vet must isolate the pet and must attest to this.<\/li>\n<li>The attached document MUST be completed on an official letter head of either the government registered pre-export facility OR on the letterhead of the private registered vet on who\u2019s premises the pet has been isolated for 14 days.<\/li>\n<li>The South African State-vets will then endorse the corresponding official UAE covid-19 annexure. Protocol has been set for the Government State-vet to cross-out the covid-19 section on the annexure, affix the certificate number on both annexures and link the VHC and both annexures by numbering\/referencing so that it becomes one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are 2 Government registered pre-export quarantine premises in South Africa.
