ABU DHABI — A wedding reception here where social distancing regulations were violated with impunity has reulted in over 20 people testing positive for coronavirus, Abu Dhabi Public Health Center claimed on Saturday. The United Arab Emirates had originally forbidden social gatherings, including weddings, in March as part of its lockdown measures aimed at slowing the spread of coronavirus through group interactions. Authorities have since lifted most of the lockdown measures and allowed communal activities in public including sports and visiting malls, though with social distancing measures in place. According to the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center as quoted by Gulf News, guests at the wedding tested positive after failing to maintain social distancing. The center also warned against complacency and reminded UAE residents to follow preventative measures to protect against further spread of the virus. The UAE has reported 58,562 coronavirus cases, the vast majority of which have recovered. The death toll from the virus till Sunday morning stands at 343. — Agencies
