WHY IS THERE A SUDDEN SPIKE IN COVID-19 CASES IN THE UAE?
Health care professionals warn public against lowering their guard
Dubai: Health care officials across the UAE are cautioning the public not to lower their guard as the country has seen a rise in the number of COVID-19 infections in the last three days.
While the number of COVID-19 cases had been on a steady decline since July 9, the recent surge has been a cause for worry.
In a daily press briefing held on August 18, Dr Omar Al Hammadi, the UAE government spokesperson, said the average number of cases had increased by 136 in both Emiratis and residents.
Dr Aundhekar said that it was each person’s responsibility to ensure that he or she did not step out in case of fever and goes for screening. “Once we have made sure we have no COVID-19, it is our duty to emphasise the same with our family and relatives. The awareness has to be spread door-to-door. The government has taken the right steps so far and is moving towards a lasting solution with vaccines etc. But each one of us has a responsibility towards the community and we have to ensure we do not become spreaders.”
