The Emirates government held periodic media briefing No. 25 to introduce the latest developments and cases related to the emerging coronavirus in the country "Covid-19", during which it revealed the registration of two types of "corona" strains in the country, after recording a complete genetic sequence of 25 patients from the first cases In the UAE, the official spokesman for the Emirates government, Dr. Amna Al-Dahhak Al-Shamsi, announced that the highest number of people recovering from the Corona virus was recorded, and that the number of people recovering reached 25% of the total number of infected people, noting that 458 new cases of recovery were recorded, as they fully recovered from the symptoms of the disease after receiving them Health care needed since I went in They are the hospital, thus bringing the number of cases of healing so far 4 thousand and 295 cases.
In detail, Dr. Amna Al-Dahhak Al-Shamsi confirmed that the health authorities in the country carried out 33,000 153 new tests to detect infections with the Corona Virus, which resulted in the monitoring and recording of 624 new cases of the new Corona virus "Covid 19" for different nationalities that were isolated and currently receiving treatment, to reach the number of cases That has been diagnosed 17 thousand and 417 cases so far, and 11 new deaths from different nationalities have been announced as a result of complications associated with chronic diseases, bringing the total deaths to 185 cases, bringing the number of cases still receiving treatment 12 thousand 937 cases.
She indicated the continued efforts of the United Arab Emirates to combat the Corona virus, and to expand and increase the scope of pre-emptive examinations with a view to early detection of infected people, and to limit the cases of newly infected Corona virus and those who come in contact with them and isolate them, noting that the first line of defense heroes in various health agencies continue to work around the clock to protect the society.
For his part, Dr. Alwi Al-Sheikh Ali, Member of the Emirates Scholars Council and the official speaker on the advanced sciences sector in the country, reviewed, "During his participation in the briefing," the latest developments in scientific research in the face of "Covid-19 in the state of the Emirates, pointing to the scientific community in the country since The beginning of the crisis is the development of studies that contribute to a deeper understanding of the emerging coronavirus, and to seek solutions that contribute to treatment and reduce spread.
Dr. Alawi Sheikh Ali said: In the past weeks, we announced a study carried out by the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences, the Dubai Health Authority, and Al Jalila Hospital, to record the complete genetic sequence of 240 patients with "Corona", noting that before talking about the results of the study, To clarify that the virus’s seizure of human cells transforms it into a factory to produce millions of good viruses, following which simple developments occur in the genetic sequence of the virus, and new strains are developing, pointing out that at the beginning of January this year, researchers in China published the first genetic sequence of a virus Corona an outpatient patient from Wuhan, Where this strain is the original strain of the virus, and is the main reference chain of the virus, as scientists have identified three main strains of the virus are strain A, strain B, and strain C ".
"Today, less than 3 weeks after the first genetic sequence was announced in the UAE, we announce the recording of key results for 49 patients with COFED-19, including recording a complete genetic sequence for 25 patients from the first cases in the UAE, this study found that there are two types of The strains in the UAE are among the first cases in the country, and the results showed that the genetic sequence of 24 patients within strain B, most of them coming from European countries, and the results showed that there is one case of strain A of a visitor coming from the Chinese city of Wahhan, indicating that 88% of cases The first in the country was asymptomatic, or they developed mild symptoms.
He continued: "The study revealed the presence of 70 genetic mutations in these strains, 17 of which were not mentioned in the genetic sequences globally, as the state through the study and the provision of this information contributed to a greater understanding of the emerging corona virus."
