    Dated April 19th;

    HAAD:MERS-CoV cases are well and expected to clear virus within 10-14 days, no public health concern

    The Health Authority – Abu Dhabi (HAAD) announced 12 new cases for Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), who are well but incidentally found to be positive for MERS-CoV during routine screenings for contacts.

    The new positive MERS Coronavirus cases are expected to clear the virus within 10-14 days with no treatment. They are in hospital isolation and as such are not causing any risk to the public or other patients.

    The Ministry of Health (MoH) and HAAD are dealing with the situation with full transparency to ensure the public is aware of the current situation.

    HAAD confirmed that the current situation is not a public health concern and that it is coordinating with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and other authorities in the country, and has taken all necessary measures as per international standards and recommendations from the World Health Organisation (WHO).

    HAAD advises the public to follow these tips to help prevent respiratory illnesses:
    Wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, and help young children do the same. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer
    Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze then throw the tissue in the trash.
    Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
    Avoid close contact with people with fever or flu-like illnesses

    HAAD stressed the need to follow information released about the illness by the Ministry of Health and health authorities. Cases of MERS COV have been reported by the WHO from 2012.



    The MOH stated that the WHO confirmed the virus is not a concern for public health at the moment, and that the current situation does not require a travel ban to any country in the world, screenings at different ports, or any restrictions on trade.

    The MOH confirmed that it is monitoring the situation closely to ensure the health and safety of everyone.

    The MOH and Health Authorities along with the WHO are working closely with all government and health authorities to understand the risks of this virus and the way it spreads between people.
