WAM

Tawam Hospital in Al Ain is the latest healthcare facility in the emirate of Abu Dhabi to be declared free of COVID-19 patients.

The Department of Health - Abu Dhabi (DoH) has confirmed that the hospital has no cases now, and is ready to return to its normal routine.

The milestone was reached thanks to the consistent efforts of the emirate’s healthcare sector and testing in line with the National Screening Programme, which has drastically reduced the number of cases requiring medical care.

Earlier this week, ADNEC field hospital, Mediclinic hospitals and Mubadala Health Care facilities were also declared free of coronavirus cases.

Authorities have called on the public to continue taking all necessary precautions including wearing face masks, washing hands periodically and keeping a safe distance.
