The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention on Saturday reported 373 cases of the Covid-19 coronavirus, along with 304 recoveries and no deaths.

Total active cases stand at 13,936.

The new cases were detected through 251,841 additional tests.

The total number of cases in UAE as on May 21 are 904,466, while total recoveries stand at 888,228. The death toll now stands at 2,302.

Shanghai cautiously pushed ahead on Saturday with plans to restore part of its transport network in a major step towards exiting a weeks-long Covid-19 lockdown, while Beijing kept up its defences in an outbreak that has persisted for a month.

Shanghai’s lockdown since the beginning of April has dealt a heavy economic blow to China’s most populous city, stirred debate over the sustainability of the nation’s zero-Covid policy and stoked fears of future lockdowns and disruptions.

Unlike the financial hub, Beijing has refrained from imposing a city-wide lockdown, reporting dozens of new cases a day, versus tens of thousands in Shanghai at its peak.
