DUBAI — Expo 2020 Dubai, a major world fair that opened last week, on Sunday said three workers on the project had died after contracting COVID-19, revising up the total number of worker fatalities since 2015 to six. ADVERTISEMENT“Unfortunately we had three worker related deaths due to COVID. That was during the course of the pandemic,” Expo representative Sconaid McGeachin told a daily briefing. She referred reporters to local authorities for comment on how many Expo workers had so far caught COVID-19. The UAE does not give a breakdown for COVID-19 cases and deaths for each emirate, including regional trade and tourism hub Dubai.
