Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, wished French President Emmanuel Macron a speedy recovery after he tested positive for the coronavirus.

The French president tested positive on Thursday.

“Our best wishes go out to our friend, French President Emmanuel Macron,” tweeted Sheikh Mohamed, also the Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.

"We hope for his speedy recovery, and pray for the health and well-being of the people of France."

Mr Macron will be in isolation for the next week but will continue working remotely from the Elysee Palace, the presidency said.

His scheduled trips, including a visit to Lebanon next week, have been cancelled.

Three ways to boost your credit score

Marwan Lutfi says the core fundamentals that drive better payment behaviour and can improve your credit score are:

1. Make sure you make your payments on time;

2. Limit the number of products you borrow on: the more loans and credit cards you have, the more it will affect your credit score;

3. Don't max out all your debts: how much you maximise those credit facilities will have an impact. If you have five credit cards and utilise 90 per cent of that credit, it will negatively affect your score.

How to wear a kandura

Dos

  • Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion 
  • Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
  • Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work 
  • Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester

Don’ts 

  • Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal
