Coronavirus symptoms
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the UAE’s health sector, Dr. Farida al-Hosani said: “While following-up on cases and the health of those infected during the recent past time period, we noticed a variation in the symptoms some coronavirus patients show, and that there has been a difference between some patients.”
She added: “There are some effects and symptoms that the disease leaves behind amongst some of those who recovered, and it differs from one person to the next. Therefore, we would like to stress to the public the importance of avoiding infection in the first place and staying safe by adhering to precautionary measures… because the [coronavirus] disease should not be taken lightly.”
