Two years of Covid-19 in the UAE: from first cases to vaccination drives – The National
On January 29, 2020, a virus that was quickly spreading around the world arrived in the UAE.
Authorities confirmed four cases of the new coronavirus, which causes the disease known as Covid-19, in a family from Wuhan, China, the original centre of the outbreak a month earlier.
Since then, the UAE has recorded close to 840,000 cases along with more than 2,200 deaths.
