Combating coronavirus: Now, get Dubai movement permit once in three days

Residents in Dubai will now be able to get a movement permit once in three days.

The move permit is essential for people to step out to buy groceries, visit pharmacies or the hospital ever since movement restrictions have been put in place across the UAE to combat the Covid-19 coronavirus.

According to an update on the Dubai Police's move permit website, such permits will now only be given once in three days.

Here are some new updates to the permits system:

1. Cash Withdrawal: This permit is issued only once every five days and for no more than one hour during which the applicant should not leave their residence area.

2. Medical visits: The permit for this category is no longer available. Applicants , however, can now apply for medical visits through the medical emergency category.

3. Grocery shopping: A permit is issued only once every three days. Additional requests will be rejected.

Dubai Police has also confirmed that the permit system would automatically adjust time slots to prevent crowding.

The movement permit system was launched by the Dubai Police to ensure that people remain at home and go out only if absolutely necessary.
