The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention on Saturday reported 239 cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus, along with 230 recoveries. The nation once again recorded no deaths in the past 24 hours.
The new cases were identified after conducting additional 63,792 tests.
This brings the total number of cases to 62,300 and the total recoveries to 56,245.

In a statement, the ministry affirmed its aim to continue expanding the scope of testing nationwide to facilitate the early detection of coronavirus cases and carry out the necessary treatment.
The UAE has seen a 30 per cent rise in coronavirus infections among citizens recently and health authorities are asking people to avoid crowds and family gatherings.  Social distancing is important and it is unwise for the community to lower their guard, health officials said as the country's total cases crossed more than 62,000 following more than five million tests.
Meanwhile, 5,000 volunteers in Abu Dhabi received their first jabs of an experimental vaccine being developed by China's Sinopharm. A sense of nationwide pride and shared commitment has led to over 80 nationalities in the community to volunteer, inspired by the UAE leadership's commitment to overcoming the pandemic through a global collaborative effort.
