Those who get tested will get their results within 48 hours.
Officials assure the public that all three testing centres run by the Dubai Health Authority are staffed by various highly-trained medical personnel.
Dubai is currently under a 24-hour sterilization drive, where all members of the public, even those in the vital and support sectors, are required to get permits from https://dxbpermit.gov.ae/ if they need to purchase essentials, head to work, or for other important matters that require them to head outside their home.
Residents caught without permits loitering outside their homes will face fines of up to Dh3,000.
