The UAE reported 392 new Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, as daily cases remained below 500 for the fourth day in a row.

No coronavirus-related deaths were confirmed in the past 24 hours. Only one fatality has been recorded so far this month.

Another 1,392 people beat the virus during the daily reporting period.

The UAE has recorded 883,985 cases, 846,805 recoveries and 2,302 deaths to date.

The latest cases were detected as a result of an additional 377,585 PCR tests.

More than 141 million tests have been conducted nationwide.

Daily cases have dropped significantly in recent weeks, having topped 3,000 in January.

The UAE has eased some safety restrictions as part of a cautious recovery strategy, including lifting border controls on entry to Abu Dhabi from other emirates and making the wearing of masks in outdoor places optional.

Pupils in Abu Dhabi are now allowed to remove their face masks during playtime outdoors, as part of major changes to Covid-19 restrictions at private schools in the emirate.

The move, which will be welcomed by many parents, comes days after education regulators in the capital confirmed quarantine for close contacts was being scrapped in schools.

Previously, face masks were mandatory in all areas and close contacts were transferred to distance learning for 10 days.

Similar rules were introduced by private schools in Dubai last week.
