The UAE announced 1,812 new Covid-19 cases on Sunday, taking its overall tally of infections to 951,196.

Another 1,930 people overcame the virus as the recovery total rose to 931,446.

Two more coronavirus-related deaths were reported, with the toll now standing at 2,319.

The latest cases were detected as a result of 313,381 PCR tests.

More than 170.8 million tests have been conducted since the start of the pandemic.
