MUSCAT: With coronavirus cases continue to rise in the country, His Excellency Dr. Ahmed Al Saidi, Minister of Health urged citizens and residents to follow the social distancing measures.

“The numbers are fluctuating in Oman and unfortunately it will continue to fluctuate. You need to assume that everyone is getting this virus, unless proven otherwise,” Al Saidi added
