The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention on Thursday reported 1,260 cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus, along with 1,404 recoveries and 4 deaths.
The UAE is reporting much lesser number of daily new Covid-19 infections, which are a significant pointer and more than two weeks after the Eid Al Adha celebrations, despite the contagious Delta variant.
Earlier this year, the viral caseloads had dramatically soared 15 days after both the New Year Eve and Eid Al Fitr celebrations.
On Wednesday, 1,287 new Covid-19 cases, which were the lowest since mid-May, were reported.
Medical experts said that Covid-19 symptoms usually appear between two and 14 days after exposure to the coronavirus.
Rapid PCR test facilities will be made available across all major Pakistan airports in the next couple of days for passengers travelling to the UAE.
Senior officials at Pakistani airlines in the UAE said that the medical equipment for rapid PCR testing has been placed at the airports and the process will begin once they get the go-ahead from the relevant authorities.
