ABU DHABI — The United Arab Emirates confirmed 210 new coronavirus cases over the past 24 hours as the country’s recovery rate neared 89 percent, according to the latest numbers reported by the health ministry. The death toll increased to 364 after three patients died due to COVID-19 complications, the health ministry announced. In line with the efforts of health authorities to expand the testing capacity, an additional 65,186 tests were conducted within the past 24 hours, raising the total number of cases in the UAE to 64,312. Meanwhile, the number of recoveries is now 57,694 after 123 individuals who had previously tested positive for the virus recovered. The new figures came as private schools in Abu Dhabi revealed their plans for a staggered return of pupils to classrooms. Most pupils aged between four and 11 will return to in-person lessons on Aug. 30. Classes will resume for those in kindergarten to Grade 5 under the US system, and for FS2 (Reception) to Year 6 under the British one. Youngsters in all other years will start face-to-face lessons four weeks later. This move will help schools prepare for the return of all pupils and monitor how younger ones adapt to the safety measures introduced to slow the spread of COVID-19. — Agencies
