The UAE recorded 1,214 Covid-19 cases on Saturday, bringing its total number of infections to 175,276.
A further 670 people were given the all clear, taking the recovery tally to 158,498.
Three patients died, pushing the country's death toll to 589.
The latest cases were identified after 83,146 additional tests were carried out in the past 24 hours.
The UAE has carried out more 17.3 million tests since the outbreak began as part of a mass screening strategy aimed to limit the spread of the virus.
The number of active cases in the Emirates is 16,189.
The UAE's top priority is to develop and disseminate a safe vaccine to protect the population against Covid-19.
Last week, Dr Omar Al Hammadi, official spokesman for the country's regular Covid-19 media briefing, said a campaign to vaccinate frontline workers, people with chronic illnesses and the elderly was still under way. That group was prioritised "because they are more vulnerable to infection than others".
On Saturday, Russia began distributing the Sputnik V Covid-19 shot via clinics in Moscow, marking the country’s first mass vaccination against the disease, the city's coronavirus task force said.

Five famous companies founded by teens
There are numerous success stories of teen businesses that were created in college dorm rooms and other modest circumstances. Below are some of the most recognisable names in the industry:
- Facebook: Mark Zuckerberg and his friends started Facebook when he was a 19-year-old Harvard undergraduate.
- Dell: When Michael Dell was an undergraduate student at Texas University in 1984, he started upgrading computers for profit. He starting working full-time on his business when he was 19. Eventually, his company became the Dell Computer Corporation and then Dell Inc.
- Subway: Fred DeLuca opened the first Subway restaurant when he was 17. In 1965, Mr DeLuca needed extra money for college, so he decided to open his own business. Peter Buck, a family friend, lent him $1,000 and together, they opened Pete’s Super Submarines. A few years later, the company was rebranded and called Subway.
- Mashable: In 2005, Pete Cashmore created Mashable in Scotland when he was a teenager. The site was then a technology blog. Over the next few decades, Mr Cashmore has turned Mashable into a global media company.
- Oculus VR: Palmer Luckey founded Oculus VR in June 2012, when he was 19. In August that year, Oculus launched its Kickstarter campaign and raised more than $1 million in three days. Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion two years later.
