The UAE recorded 370 new Covid-19 cases on Tuesday, as the number of infections remained below 500 for three weeks.

Another 360 people beat the virus in the 24-hour reporting period, while no coronavirus-related deaths were reported.

The death toll stands at 2,342 to date.

Tuesday's caseload brought the country's overall tally of infections since the outbreak to 1,023,719.

The latest cases were detected from an additional 202,967 PCR tests.

More than 188 million tests have been conducted since the start of the outbreak under a mass screening strategy to limit the spread of the virus.

Another way to earn air miles

In addition to the Emirates and Etihad programmes, there is the Air Miles Middle East card, which offers members the ability to choose any airline, has no black-out dates and no restrictions on seat availability. Air Miles is linked up to HSBC credit cards and can also be earned through retail partners such as Spinneys, Sharaf DG and The Toy Store.

An Emirates Dubai-London round-trip ticket costs 180,000 miles on the Air Miles website. But customers earn these ‘miles’ at a much faster rate than airline miles. Adidas offers two air miles per Dh1 spent. Air Miles has partnerships with websites as well, so booking.com and agoda.com offer three miles per Dh1 spent.

“If you use your HSBC credit card when shopping at our partners, you are able to earn Air Miles twice which will mean you can get that flight reward faster and for less spend,” says Paul Lacey, the managing director for Europe, Middle East and India for Aimia, which owns and operates Air Miles Middle East.
