New research suggesting the virus is more contagious than previously thought has added to the international alarm over the outbreak.
The UAE, a major international air transit centre and tourism and business hub, recorded its first coronavirus case on Jan. 28 when four members of a Chinese family were diagnosed.Most of those diagnosed in the UAE with the virus have been Chinese citizens. Another Filipino national and one Indian national have also been infected, according to the health ministry.
Three of those previously diagnosed, all Chinese nationals, have fully recovered, the ministry has said. The government has not disclosed where patients were being treated or which parts of the country they visited.
