On Thursday, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) will resume issuing certificates of good conduct, a service that was suspended three months ago due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which was first reported on March 13, 2020.
According to a statement from the DCI, applicants will have to follow new guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus. The agency has advised those seeking the service to first log in to e-citizen and book an appointment, indicating the date and exact time they will be attended to.
There are currently 37,751 pending applications, which the DCI intends to process expeditiously. To adhere to social distancing measures, the agency will attend to 600 clients daily, from 7am to 4pm.
Only those with appointments and who arrive at the designated time will be allowed past the gate. The DCI has also put in place measures to screen and test both staff and visitors to the DCI headquarters, in line with the directives of the National Emergency and Response Committee on coronavirus.
Any case diagnosed will be referred to the relevant government medical institutions immediately for further attention.
