South Africa chased down 259 with seven balls to spare in the T20 match against West Indies
According to a Dubai Health Authority (DHA) circular issued to hospitals - and based on directives from the Ministry of Health and Prevention (Mohap) - all DHA-licensed health facilities must consider suspected or confirmed cases of the 2019-nCoV as emergency cases.
The circular, a copy of which Khaleej Times has studied, said all health facilities must classify the cases in two categories: One for those with insurance coverage and another where insurance coverage is unavailable.
"If the patient has insurance, the cases shall be treated as emergencies according to insurance regulation and insurance companies will honour any claims received," said the circular.
For those who are not insured, "the cases shall still be considered emergencies and suspected or confirmed cases will not bear any payment of healthcare costs at any healthcare facilities", it added.
"This is to ensure the health and safety of the community and to contain patients with confirmed or suspected infection, and provide them with proper health services."
Currently there are five nCoV-positive patients in the UAE, including a four-member Chinese family and a Chinese tourist. All of them are being treated and in stable condition, according to authorities.
