The number of new coronavirus cases recorded in the six Persian Gulf states has doubled in 3 months to more than 800,000, according to a Reuters count.
All countries have lifted curfews and internal closures, but restrictions remain on meetings and abroad and social estating measures are being implemented.
Since 100,000 instances were reached in mid-May, the time to double infections has increased from one month to 3 months. A longer duplication rate indicates a slower expansion in infection rate.
On Tuesday, the figure in the region 800,651 contagions, with 6,805 deaths.
