A quarantine centre, which can accommodate nearly 10,000 patients, has opened in Abu Dhabi.

The complex is located within Al Razeen field hospital, near Al Raha.

It has 2,784 rooms with on-site medical staff and all necessary facilities for patients, who will be kept there until they are no longer infectious.

Al Razeen also has a field hospital, which opened last month after getting constructed within just nine days.
