The UAE reported 375 new cases of Covid-19 on Tuesday after conducting more than 52,000 tests.
The new infections raised the country's total to 55,573 from more than 4.16 million tests.
Authorities said 512 more patients recovered from the virus, making it 46,025 people to have been given the all-clear.
One more person died, taking the death toll to 335.
On Monday, Abdulrahman Al Owais, Minister of Health and Prevention, said the UAE was working on developing two types of vaccines against Covid-19.
Mr Al Owais said the vaccines were at the human trial stage and were being tested with more than 15,000 volunteers.
“We are in the third stage of the study and clinical trials, and all conditions and requirements for the safety of volunteer participants will be fulfilled,” Mr Al Owais said in a TV briefing.
If either vaccine is found to be safe and effective, it will be moved to the manufacturing phase.

Another way to earn air miles
In addition to the Emirates and Etihad programmes, there is the Air Miles Middle East card, which offers members the ability to choose any airline, has no black-out dates and no restrictions on seat availability. Air Miles is linked up to HSBC credit cards and can also be earned through retail partners such as Spinneys, Sharaf DG and The Toy Store.
An Emirates Dubai-London round-trip ticket costs 180,000 miles on the Air Miles website. But customers earn these ‘miles’ at a much faster rate than airline miles. Adidas offers two air miles per Dh1 spent. Air Miles has partnerships with websites as well, so booking.com and agoda.com offer three miles per Dh1 spent.
“If you use your HSBC credit card when shopping at our partners, you are able to earn Air Miles twice which will mean you can get that flight reward faster and for less spend,” says Paul Lacey, the managing director for Europe, Middle East and India for Aimia, which owns and operates Air Miles Middle East.

Barings Bank
Barings, one of Britain’s oldest investment banks, was
founded in 1762 and operated for 233 years before it went bust after a trading
scandal.
Barings Bank collapsed in February 1995 following colossal
losses caused by rogue trader Nick Lesson.
Leeson gambled more than $1 billion in speculative trades,
wiping out the venerable merchant bank’s cash reserves.
