DUBAI (Reuters) – An increase in the number of coronavirus cases in the more than two weeks is “alarming” and could bring additional increases in the near future, the UAE’s fitness minister said Tuesday.
The United Arab Emirates has recorded 365 new cases and two deaths in the last 24 hours, the government said, bringing the total number of COVID-19 infections in the Gulf state since the start of the pandemic to 64906 with 366 deaths.
New cases of coronavirus in the United Arab Emirates peaked in mid-May, but the country has experienced periodic peaks since then, despite a general downward trend.
