MUSCAT: Ministry of Health has launched mobile buses and teams to reach people who are unable to go to the medical examination centres to test for coronavirus (Covid-19), a top official at Ministry of Health said.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Dr. Saif bin Salim Al Abri, Director General of Disease and Control at the Ministry of Health said the aim is to get all those who show symptoms of the virus.

“Our goal is to diagnose people to an early stage before symptoms worsen and the infected person arrives at the heath institutions too late,” he said.

“Mobile buses and teams have been formed to reach people who are unable to go to the medical examination centres. The current medical test is applied to everyone who shows symptoms of the virus,” he added.

Oman on Saturday confirmed 1,905 coronavirus cases in the country.
