In the last 24 hours, cases below 200 were recorded the first time since APRIL and we’ve had 3 days with 0 deaths reported. A spokesperson at the briefing said the proactive strategy to curb the spread meant increasing testing and the UAE has carried out over 5 MILLION tests so far. And today, 90% of COVID-19 cases in the country are already recovered.
