Convenience is king here in Dubai and you can get pretty much anything and everything straight to your door – flowers, pet supplies, your morning cuppa, midnight snacks – and now PCR tests.
Ride-hailing service Careem has teamed up with JustMop to offer PCR tests in just a few taps from the comfort of your home, office, or hotel room in Dubai.
Via the Careem app, users can select ‘PCR test’ which will then redirect them to JustMop where they can quickly and easily schedule what day and time they’d like their test to be done.
