Omicron virus; UAE observers
Al-Hosani said the UAE was committed to taking the necessary steps in line with the latest developments in the Omicron virus, a new variant of the corona virus. The importance of taking precautionary measures such as wearing a mask, washing hands regularly and keeping physical distance was reiterated.
At least 100 doses of the kovid vaccine have been given to 100% of the UAE’s population. 90.31 percent were completely vaccinated. As the population changes over time, this figure does not mean that everyone has been vaccinated, but it does indicate that the vast majority of the intended groups have been vaccinated.
She said she was working to ensure that a specific segment of the population, including residents and new work visa holders, were vaccinated in accordance with medical procedures approved in the country.
