COVID-19: Time changes announced at PCR test centres in Dubai malls

File picture

The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has revised the timings of PCR COVID-19 testing stations in malls across the emirate.

The facilities at City Centre Mirdif, the Mall of the Emirates and City Centre Deira, are now available on a walk-in basis from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on Sunday to Wednesday, and from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm on Thursday to Saturday.

People 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 testing station has the capacity to conduct 180 tests per day. The result of the PCR test, which costs AED 150, will be sent to the customer within 24 hours.

Launching COVID-19 PCR testing stations across malls in Dubai is in line with the DHA’s pre-emptive and precautionary measures to combat the virus and helps to ensure the Authority's commitment to provide Dubai residents with easy access to the facilities.
