The UAE reported 338 new <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/coronavirus/" target="_blank">coronavirus</a> cases on Monday, taking its overall tally to 888,067. No <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/travel/covid-19-travel/2022/03/17/south-korea-travel-guide-quarantine-free-visits-for-vaccinated-tourists-from-april-1/" target="_blank">Covid-19</a>-related deaths were recorded for the 14th day in a row. Only one fatality has been announced in March. The death toll since the virus arrived in the UAE is 2,302. Another 899 people overcame the virus, taking the recovery total to 859,116. The latest infections were detected as a result of an additional 251,465 PCR tests. More than 145 million tests have been conducted to date. The daily caseload has declined steadily in recent weeks, having topped 3,000 as recently as January. Authorities have eased some Covid-19 restrictions and the wearing of masks outdoors is now optional across the Emirates. But face coverings must still be worn at all times when indoors, except when in one’s own home. Border control rules were lifted last month, meaning motorists and passengers entering Abu Dhabi from other emirates no longer have to show green status on their Al Hosn app. <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/2021/12/16/how-do-abu-dhabis-ede-covid-scanners-work/">EDE scanners</a>, which can detect signs of infection, were also removed from checkpoints. Unvaccinated people in <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/abu-dhabi/">Abu Dhabi</a> can now enter public buildings such as malls and hotels on presentation of a negative <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/travel/2022/02/08/countries-you-can-travel-to-without-a-pcr-test-from-portugal-to-sweden/">PCR test result</a> issued in the past 48 hours. The Abu Dhabi Emergency Crisis and Disaster committee announced last week it had updated the rules for unvaccinated people entering events, tourist attractions and cultural sites. Previously, authorities in Abu Dhabi said unvaccinated people could enter only supermarkets and pharmacies.
