The UAE has carried out nearly seven million Covid-19 tests across the country so far.

Over the weekend, it was announced that mosques and places of worship in industrial areas as well as labour accommodations in the UAE will reopen for worshippers.

Taking to Twitter, the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority said: "The General Authority for Islamic Affairs and Endowments and National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority announce the reopening of mosques and other places of worship in industrial areas and labour accommodations".

The authority, however, stated that the operational capacity of these places of worship will be capped at 30 per cent and that worshippers must strictly adhere to all the precautionary measures announced previously by the authorities to keep the faithful safe from Covid-19.

Meanwhile, schools across the country reopened today for the new term with adequate safety precautions in place.
