Another 69 people beat the virus as the number of recoveries climbed to 737,172.

The latest cases were detected as a result of an additional 185,406 tests.
More than 102 million PCR tests have been carried out to date as part of a comprehensive screening strategy.
A nationwide vaccination drive, allied to the robust testing strategy, has been central to the UAE's fight against Covid-19.
Close to 22 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine have been administered to the public to date, with more than 90 per cent of the population fully vaccinated.
The UAE's move to open up access to third booster doses to all members of the public is also aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19, particularly in light of the emergence of the Omicron variant.
Daily infections have remained below 100 since October 21, an encouraging trend as the UAE cautiously emerges from the pandemic.
The latest cases tally is the lowest since March 30, 2020, when 41 positive tests were reported.
