Follow at all times to avoid fines and problems.

At the beginning of this week, Dubai authorities announced a 24-hour lockdown to aggressively bring an end to Corona (COVID19). However, questions about the lockdown remain unanswered… Here is a list of the top 5 questions that are on social media:

1- Where can I apply for my permit?

You need to visit Permit to apply for the permission. The process is very simple and straightforward. You need your Emirates ID. Within the hour you should be receiving the approval or denial. I tried it and it took 10 minutes to have the approval to go for grocery shopping.

2- Do you need to hold on to your permit receipts as proof?

No. Your permit will suffice as your receipt. You must have a copy (screenshot) of the issued approval with you when you leave your home. Note, you could get stopped and asked to show your approval.  If you are driving, radars are working around the clock for two weeks and a special mechanism has been implemented to review all tickets issued during this period.

3- Can I take my pet for a walk?

No! However, according to Dubai Police, it is acceptable to take your pet out in front of your residence and for no more than ten minutes while taking the necessary precautions to ensure public safety.

4- What if I need medical assistance urgently?

You must apply for the permit. Hala Taxis are in operation and of course, you can call an ambulance.

5- Can I buy groceries?

Yes. You can. Again, you must apply for the permit and make sure you have a copy of it on your phone.

And ensure to have your grocery receipt copy in case of inspections.
