Residents can book an appointment to get a COVID-19 PCR test in malls across Dubai. The PCR testing stations, which are located in Mall of the Emirates, City Centre Mirdif and City Centre Deira, are receiving customers seven days a week from 11am to 6pm on appointment basis. Residents can book an appointment 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. Above, COVID-19 testing centre by Dubai Health Authority at Mirdif City Centre.

Each COVID-19 PCR testing station can conduct 180 tests per day. The result of the PCR test, which costs Dh150, 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 disease and is in line with the DHA’s keenness to ensure that Dubai residents can have easy access to COVID-19 PCR testing.
