UAE sees drop in COVID-19 cases

WAM

The UAE has seen a decrease in the number of daily COVID-19 cases in recent days.

Dr. Taher Al Ameri, the spokesperson of the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA), praised the public's commitment to precautionary measures during the Eid Al Adha holidays.

He added that the fall in infections indicates the success of the country's strategy in curbing the spread of the virus.

During the government's weekly COVID-19 media briefing, Dr. Al Ameri highlighted how the drop in the number of cases reflects a gradual return to a 'new normal life', with the wider resumption of economic and tourism activity, and the return of employees to their workplaces.
