"You are on the frontline of our nation’s defence against the epidemic, and you are fulfilling a great and noble mission, but it isn’t done yet," he said.
This came during a phone call with the Head of Rashid Hospital’s Emergency Department, who briefed Sheikh Mohammed about the preventative measures in place.
Dr. Sara Kazim highlighted how hospitals have increased their capacities and readiness levels to adapt to the evolving situation.
