DUBAI: The UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention has confirmed 63 new cases of COVID-19, state news agency WAM reported Saturday.

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.”
Meanwhile, the national disinfection program was extended until April 5, requiring all people to stay in their homes between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. local time.
People wishing to go outside during the curfew hours will need to apply for a special permit online.
