The case count reached 930 on Thursday, said Farida al-Hosani, spokesman for the fitness sector in the Emirates, up from 179 August 10.
“This is the number recorded in 4 months,” he said at a televised conference.
“Those who violate existing preventive measures, whether an individual, outlets or restaurants, will be responsible. “
Hosani said 12% of cases concerned citizens returning to the United Arab Emirates from abroad, even though they obtained negative evidence from their destination country, which is a condition of entry.
The other cases referred to other people who were inflamed as a result of social events, contacts, or other meetings.
“This includes satisfied opportunities, funerals, paintings and violation of coronavirus quarantine protocols,” he said.
Hosani said construction was due to other people not complying with measures such as social estating and mandatory use of masks, and they proceeded to gather in large numbers in homes, department stores and restaurants.
The United Arab Emirates, which has a population of around nine million, has recorded 76,911 cases of coronavirus, totaling 67,945 recoveries and 398 deaths.
The country, a collection of seven emirates, was strictly closed in March to suppress infections. Dubai, in particular, is now largely open to business and tourism, the capital, Abu Dhabi, still requires a negative test of coronavirus.
