First shipment of more than 90 containers carrying excellent quality, fully ripened Sindhri and Almas varieties reached Emirates by sea
The ministry has called on the public to abide by the precautionary measures in place and follow all necessary medical advice in order to avoid more infections.
An Emirati faculty member at Khalifa University of Science and Technology, Abu Dhabi, has created a new web tool for the analysis of Covid-19 Twitter data in the UAE. This tool offers the public insights into conversations, emotions and sentiments concerning coronavirus. The tool titled 'Analysis of Cross-linguistic markers of Covid-19 Tweets in the UAE' shows that public sentiments remain positive and trustful of the government's actions towards mitigating the spread of the disease, reflecting the UAE's effective measures against Covid-19.
Meanwhile, an Abu Dhabi-based company has developed a breakthrough technology in mass screening for Covid-19 that can be a game-changer in the UAE's fight against coronavirus. Group 42, an artificial intelligence and cloud computing company, has partnered with the UK's Oxford Nanopore Technologies to develop population-wide testing that can rapidly and accurately detect coronavirus. The testing method, which is expected to be ready within weeks, can be done on collected swab samples. The company is also aiming to make the technology work directly from saliva. Moreover, it can also be used to analyse environmental samples to assess the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on surfaces, or in systems such as water and sewage treatment facilities.
The Mohap, too, has adopted a digital platform to quickly identify people at risk of transmission.
The platform has a centralised early warning feature that notifies the relevant public health authorities of new cases. This came as the Fourth Industrial Revolution Council held its periodical meeting, chaired by Sarah bint Yousif Al Amiri, Minister of State for Advanced Sciences and Chair of the Council.
