The meeting took stock of preventive and educational measures taken by the health authorities in the country and reviewed a health awareness plan for the upcoming Haj and Umrah pilgrimages to be launched in coordination with the General Authority for Islamic Affairs and Endowment and other similar campaigns targeting schools, universities and colleges. Health officials told the committee that all the 47 reported cases in the UAE had been fully treated and discharged from hospitals with 20 new patients making a full recovery.
