DUBAI: The UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention has confirmed 63 new cases of COVID-19, state news agency WAM reported Saturday.
The new cases bring the total in the country to 468, with 55 recoveries and two deaths.
The government launched a coronavirus drive-through test zone where residents would be able to get tested for COVID-19 while in their cars.
Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed posted photos of himself being tested on his official Twitter account, saying: “Today, I visited the mobile COVID-19 Test Center set up by SEHA as part of measures to contain the virus. Medical teams out in the field are the first line of protection of the UAE, their sacrifices safeguard our health.”
