Model Precautionary Measures
She said the UAE is following model precautionary measures to contain Covid-19 and its variants, by developing efficient testing protocols in line with the directives of the UAE’s leadership aimed at ensuring public health and safety.
During the UAE Government media briefing on the pandemic, Al Ghaithi stressed that the UAE is a leading country in setting an example to contain the pandemic and adopt the best-related practices. She noted that the strategic balance and cooperation between various sectors played a significant role in addressing the crisis. They all worked as one team to achieve a common goal, ensuring the community’s health and safety.
Under the framework of the health sector’s keenness to support the preventive measures, the country has reinforced its use of artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce infections and analyse information, to assist medical and nursing personnel in monitoring patients, she added.
“In light of the surge in infection rates in the country compared to previous weeks and months, we stress that the health and medical situation in all the country’s hospitals are stable. More than 55 percent of the hospital and ICU beds are empty, and the Covid-19 bed occupancy rate is below 3 percent,” Al Ghaithi explained.
