The UAE reported 199 new Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, raising its tally to 899,441.

A further 280 people overcame the virus, taking the number of recoveries to 883,160.

No deaths have been recorded since March 7, with the toll standing at 2,302.

The latest infections were identified as a result of an additional 88,359 PCR tests.

More than 156.5 million tests have been conducted to date under a mass screening strategy aimed at restricting the spread of the virus.

A comprehensive immunisation drive, in which more than 24.7 million vaccine doses have been administered since December 2020, has also been central to the UAE's fight against the pandemic.

Daily infection rates have stayed below 300 since April 4, having been 10 times as high as recently as January.

Authorities in recent weeks eased several Covid-19 restrictions in response to the sustained low daily figures, such as lifting the requirement to wear masks outdoors and removing border controls on entry to Abu Dhabi by road from other emirates.
