The UAE on Monday reported 321 new cases of Covid-19, bringing the total number recorded since the pandemic began to 905,151.

Another 355 recovered from the virus, taking this tally to 888,939.

No deaths have been reported since March 7, with the toll remaining at 2,302.

The latest cases came following 167,861 PCR tests.

More than 160 million PCR tests have been carried out since the pandemic began in January 2020.

Mass testing and one of the world's fastest vaccination drives have helped the UAE curb the pandemic.

Authorities have said 100 per cent of the eligible population have received one Covid-19 vaccine dose with 97.97 per cent fully vaccinated.

The UAE is also emerging from the pandemic. Capacity limits at malls and venues have been lifted, travel rules eased and mask are no longer required outdoors.

However, it remains mandatory to wear a mask inside.

Teaching your child to save

Pre-school (three - five years)

You can’t yet talk about investing or borrowing, but introduce a “classic” money bank and start putting gifts and allowances away. When the child wants a specific toy, have them save for it and help them track their progress.

Early childhood (six - eight years)

Replace the money bank with three jars labelled ‘saving’, ‘spending’ and ‘sharing’. Have the child divide their allowance into the three jars each week and explain their choices in splitting their pocket money. A guide could be 25 per cent saving, 50 per cent spending, 25 per cent for charity and gift-giving.

Middle childhood (nine - 11 years)

Open a bank savings account and help your child establish a budget and set a savings goal. Introduce the notion of ‘paying yourself first’ by putting away savings as soon as your allowance is paid.

Young teens (12 - 14 years)

Change your child’s allowance from weekly to monthly and help them pinpoint long-range goals such as a trip, so they can start longer-term saving and find new ways to increase their saving.

Teenage (15 - 18 years)

Discuss mutual expectations about university costs and identify what they can help fund and set goals. Don’t pay for everything, so they can experience the pride of contributing.

Young adulthood (19 - 22 years)

Discuss post-graduation plans and future life goals, quantify expenses such as first apartment, work wardrobe, holidays and help them continue to save towards these goals.
