The current death toll as a result of the coronavirus outbreak now stands at 224 after four more patients succumbed due to complications, according to UAE Health Ministry spokesperson Dr. Amna al-Shamsi.

There are currently 14,389 active cases still receiving treatment for COVID-19.

Authorities also announced they were partially relaxing restrictions by adjusting mall hours which will now open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The nighttime curfew, however, has been expanded to begin two hours earlier at 8 p.m.

“The decision to partially relax restrictions is in place to achieve a balance between meeting the needs of a segment of society whose business and source of income are linked to the commodity trade sector, and continuing to adhere to the recommended health guidelines,” al-Shamsi said during the daily press briefing.
