Humaid Al Qatami, Director General of the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), announced that three centres for Covid-19 tests would be opened in the emirate next week.

Two centres would be conducting the test from the car, while the third would be for laboratory analysis, he added.

“The first centre will open in Al Khawaneej, and the second in Port Rashid, where people can be subjected to the test while sitting in their vehicles,” Al Qatami said.

He continued, “The third centre will open in Al-Nasr Club.”

The three centres would provide safe, smooth and fast services, ensuring the protection of service providers and recipients, he added.
