MUSCAT: Citizens in Dhofar have welcomed the decisions taken by the Supreme Committee to fight COVID-19 pandemic in the governorate.
In the wake of rising coronavirus cases in Dhofar, the Supreme Committee decided to extend the night movement ban and closure of commercial activities in Dhofar Governorate from 6pm to 5am until further notice.
“The epidemiological situation of COVID-19 cases in Dhofar Governorate has been reviewed as the number has increased steadily during the last period, which in turn triggered the ICU admissions and mortalities that outstripped the capacity,” the statement said.
