An additional 679 cases of Covid-19 were reported in the UAE on Monday.
They were identified when 72,388 tests were conducted across the country, taking the number of cases recorded since the outbreak began to 85,595.
Another 813 patients were cleared of the virus, raising the recovery tally to 75,086. It was the second consecutive day that recoveries outstripped the number of new infections.
Authorities said one patient died of complications related to Covid-19, taking the death toll to 405.
The number of active cases stands at 10,104.
The UAE has conducted more than 8.8 million tests since January as part of a mass screening strategy to identify, isolate and treat infections.
A campaign to ensure people and businesses are adhering to safety measures is also under way after a recent increase in daily case numbers.
Officials said people had become complacent with regulations, including physical distancing and a ban on gatherings of than 10 first-degree relatives.
On Monday, inspectors from Dubai Economy closed down a cafe in Al Seef for breaching safety measures, notably physical distancing regulations.
Fines were issued to nine businesses for not ensuring at least two metres distance was maintained between staff and customers and for breaching rules about wearing face masks.
Another six companies were fined for not placing physical distance stickers on the ground.
Overall, 668 shops and commercial establishments visited by inspectors were found to fully comply with the precautionary measures.
The businesses fined included a restaurant in Umm Hurair, retail outlets in various shopping centres and a sewing and embroidery shop in Abu Hail.
A gym in Al Safa 1 was also fined, in co-operation with Dubai Sports Council.
People are encouraged to report any breaches by calling 600 545 555, or visiting Consumerrights.ae.
Red flags
- Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
- Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
- Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
- Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
- Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.

Who was Alfred Nobel?
The Nobel Prize was created by wealthy Swedish chemist and entrepreneur Alfred Nobel.
- In his will he dictated that the bulk of his estate should be used to fund "prizes to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind".
- Nobel is best known as the inventor of dynamite, but also wrote poetry and drama and could speak Russian, French, English and German by the age of 17. The five original prize categories reflect the interests closest to his heart.
- Nobel died in 1896 but it took until 1901, following a legal battle over his will, before the first prizes were awarded.

What vitamins do we know are beneficial for living in the UAE
Vitamin D: Highly relevant in the UAE due to limited sun exposure; supports bone health, immunity and mood.
Vitamin B12: Important for nerve health and energy production, especially for vegetarians, vegans and individuals with absorption issues.
Iron: Useful only when deficiency or anaemia is confirmed; helps reduce fatigue and support immunity.
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA): Supports heart health and reduces inflammation, especially for those who consume little fish.
