This steady increase in recoveries is courtesy the extensive testing being carried out across the country.
The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention on Thursday announced 502 new cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus.

As many as 213 new cases of recovery, as well as eight deaths, were also announced.

More than 33,000 new Covid-19 tests have also been conducted, the ministry added.

The month of May has witnessed an increase in recoveries from coronavirus. The recovery average stands at 150 cases this month while there was an average of 100 recoveries in the previous months.

This steady increase in recoveries is courtesy the extensive testing being carried out across the country.

Most recently, a new testing centre has been launched in Abu Dhabi's industrial area of Musaffah, where thousands of residents and blue-collar workers were screened and the results were made available within 48 hours.

Meanwhile, even though malls have started welcoming customers, the government has advised that senior citizens and children must remain at home.

Earlier this week, the MoHaP and the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority in a joint announcement stated that people over the age of 60 and children younger than 12 are prohibited from entering shopping malls, cooperative societies, and supermarkets. They are also prohibited from entering retail stores located outside shopping centres.
