Covid-19 appears likely to develop into a seasonal disease, the United Nations said Thursday.
The 16-member team set up by the UN World Meteorological Organization pointed out that respiratory viral infections are often seasonal — in particular the autumn-winter peak for influenza and cold-causing coronaviruses in temperate climates.
"This has fuelled expectations that, if it persists for many years, Covid-19 will prove to be a strongly seasonal disease," it said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi on Thursday announced the launch of the first Virtual Charter School to assist students in the Capital who have been impacted by Covid-19.
The goal of the initiative is to ensure uninterrupted access to education for pupils in the emirate whose families have been hit by the ongoing pandemic.
