Latest: UAE reports 392 new cases on Sunday
UAE authorities announced a further 388 cases of coronavirus on Saturday, taking the total number of infections in the country to 44,533.
Officials also said an additional 758 patients had recovered from the virus, with nearly 32,000 people having now beaten the disease.
To date, 301 people in the Emirates have died as a result of contracting Covid-19, with one patient still in critical condition.
Globally, there have been 8.7 million cases, causing more than 463,000 fatalities.
Of those patients who still have the virus, 3.6 million have been diagnosed with mild symptoms while 54,000 are in a serious or critical condition.
The new UAE case numbers came as the World Health Organisation warned that the world had entered a "new and dangerous phase" of the coronavirus pandemic.
Officials said many people were tiring of travel restrictions or lockdowns despite the disease's ongoing spread.
WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the outbreak was "accelerating" and urged nations to remain vigilant.
Meanwhile, mosques in Saudi Arabia’s Makkah Province are set to reopen on Sunday under strict new safety measures, nearly three months after they were closed because of the virus.

You may remember …
Robbie Keane (Atletico de Kolkata) The Irish striker is, along with his former Spurs teammate Dimitar Berbatov, the headline figure in this season’s ISL, having joined defending champions ATK. His grand entrance after arrival from Major League Soccer in the US will be delayed by three games, though, due to a knee injury.
Dimitar Berbatov (Kerala Blasters) Word has it that Rene Meulensteen, the Kerala manager, plans to deploy his Bulgarian star in central midfield. The idea of Berbatov as an all-action, box-to-box midfielder, might jar with Spurs and Manchester United supporters, who more likely recall an always-languid, often-lazy striker.
Wes Brown (Kerala Blasters) Revived his playing career last season to help out at Blackburn Rovers, where he was also a coach. Since then, the 23-cap England centre back, who is now 38, has been reunited with the former Manchester United assistant coach Meulensteen, after signing for Kerala.
Andre Bikey (Jamshedpur) The Cameroonian defender is onto the 17th club of a career has taken him to Spain, Portugal, Russia, the UK, Greece, and now India. He is still only 32, so there is plenty of time to add to that tally, too. Scored goals against Liverpool and Chelsea during his time with Reading in England.
Emiliano Alfaro (Pune City) The Uruguayan striker has played for Liverpool – the Montevideo one, rather than the better-known side in England – and Lazio in Italy. He was prolific for a season at Al Wasl in the Arabian Gulf League in 2012/13. He returned for one season with Fujairah, whom he left to join Pune.
