UPDATE 1-UAE ready for 'worst case' coronavirus scenarios, says government - Reuters:
The United Arab Emirates, a major international air transit centre, is prepared for “worst case scenarios” as the new coronavirus spreads in the Middle East, a government official said on Wednesday.
Authorities have enough facilities to quarantine patients and will be carrying out surveillance on people entering the country, said the official from the UAE National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority.
It was too early to ban public gatherings in the business, trade and tourism hub, added the official. Dubai is due to host the Expo 2020 world fair in October for six months.
The UAE has reported 13 cases of the new coronavirus since Jan. 28, three of whom have recovered.
