Three more people in the UAE have recovered from COVID-19.

This brings the total number of recovered cases in the country to 26.

According to the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP), the three individuals - two Bangladeshis and an Indian are now "symptom-free" after receiving the necessary treatment.

The Ministry reaffirmed that the UAE’s handling of the cases, from diagnosis until recovery, reflects the strength of its healthcare system.
