Officials once again urged people in UAE to adhere to precautionary measures to stop the spread of Covid-19 coronavirus, as they reported new cases among four families.
During a press briefing on Monday, Dr. Amna Al Dahak Al Shamsi, official spokesperson of the UAE Government, said that the latest tally of infections included four families who did not adhere to precautionary measures and social distancing.
These families gathered for Taraweeh prayers in violation of instructions issued by the Emirates Fatwa Council and the General Authority of Islamic Affairs and Endowments, as well as preventative measures issued by health authorities.
"By doing so, they spread the virus to other family members who were placed under quarantine," she added.
Dr. Farida Al Hosani, official spokesperson for the health sector, called upon the general public to adhere to preventative measures, warning that some families continued to hold gatherings and distribute food to neighbours, thereby causing the virus to spread.
"We understand that these habits were deeply embedded in UAE culture, but these practices, though done in good faith, could spread the virus to others. Under these exceptional circumstances, we should avoid such habits and instead donate to official bodies for the safety of all," she added.
Earlier, religious authorities in UAE urged Muslims to pray home this Ramadan as not only were mosques closed but to help fight Covid-19.
