This follows news that the Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre was forced to deny rumours that a case in the UAE had been detected

The Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre denied a rumour that a patient was diagnosed with the Novel Coronavirus, adding that the case pertains to a previous type of Coronavirus, which is not dangerous and that the patient is currently being treated, according to Wam.ae.

It’s expected 3,000 people have been infected by the disease, of which the majority has been maintained in China and the city of Wuhan, where the disease originated. Although, recent reports suggest the disease has been discovered in over 10 countries.
