MoHAP added that the other individual, a 58-year-old Asian national and resident of the UAE, had prior chronic illnesses - heart disease and kidney failure - which further complicated their inability to fight the disease.
The Ministry expressed its regret and sincere condolences to the families of the deceased, and expressed its well-wishes for the recovery of all individuals diagnosed with the novel coronavirus.
It reassured that both cases had received all necessary medical care and attention in the country's medical facilities.
The ministry noted that available statistics on the pandemic show that the mortality rate is 3.6 per cent, adding that this rate increases among elderly persons and individuals who are immunocompromised or suffer from chronic illness.
MoHAP urged the general public to cooperate with health authorities, and adhere to precautionary measures announced - particularly social distancing - to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 and ensure the overall health and safety of the community in UAE.
