The threat of Covid 19 has not passed yet. UAE doctors say there are chances of the current Omicron variant leading to long Covid.
“Omicron infection generally causes less severe disease than infections from earlier variants, but in some cases, it could lead to long Covid. Data suggests that Omicron can re-infect individuals, even if they have recently recovered from Covid 19,” said Dr Abdalkarim Nassar, specialist pulmonologist, Burjeel Specialty Hospital, Sharjah.
But doctors have affirmed that the infection with the current variant is very mild and hospitalisation is rare.
People should also be careful while sharing their Al Hosn green pass online, the app has warned.
Al Hosn App is the official UAE app for Covid-19 results. Fully-vaccinated residents get a green pass on the app after testing negative for Covid-19.
In a tweet, the official account of the app shared that the green pass contains sensitive personal data, and that this information can be compromised and misused if shared incorrectly.
Meanwhile, hundreds have re-proposed to their significant others after the lockdown was lifted, with industry experts saying they are noticing almost a 2400 per cent increase in such requests.
A re-proposal is when engaged or married couples propose to their significant others in a much more romantic or grand manner. From seeing one re-proposal a year, event organizers are now getting bookings for at least two re-proposals a month.
