Combating Covid-19: Screenshot your movement permit before you step out in Dubai

Dubai - Dubai began a two-week, 24-hour sterilization drive on Saturday evening.

Now you will need to take a screenshot of the approved movement permit in order to avoid any legal action, the Dubai Police has announced.
Sharing the announcement on its official Twitter handle the Dubai Media Office tweeted: "@DubaiPoliceHQ: A screenshot of the approved Movement Permit, be it a journey by car or on foot, must be kept by all members of the general public once they leave their homes to avoid legal action. To register: https://dxbpermit.gov.ae

However, in a new advisory, the Dubai Media office added that members of the public must also take a screenshot of the approved movement permit in order to avoid any legal proceedings.
