Emirates has strengthened its PPE – personal protective equipment – requirements for all staff likely to come into direct contact with passengers.
Cabin crew, boarding agents or ground staff will wear protective disposable gowns and safety visors, in addition to face masks and gloves.
At Emirates base in Dubai, gloves and masks are now mandatory for passengers and employees, as are thermal scans upon entering the airport.
Distancing indicators have been placed around the airport’s waiting areas for check-in and boarding, while protective barriers have been installed at check-in desks to increase safety during face-to-face interactions over the counter.
