Residents can now book appointments to get a Covid-19 PCR test across malls in Dubai, the DHA announced on Monday.

The PCR testing stations, located in Mall of the Emirates, City Centre Mirdif and City Centre Deira, are receiving customers seven days a week from 11am to 6pm with prior appointment, the Dubai Health Authority said. Appointments can be booked by calling the DHA toll-free number 800DHA (800342).

Those who have a fever or any respiratory symptoms should not get tested at the mall as this service is specifically for those who require a PCR test result for travel and other non-medical purposes.

Each Covid-19 PCR testing station has the capacity to conduct 180 tests per day. The result of the PCR test, which costs Dh150, will be sent to the customer within 24 hours.
