MUSCAT: His Excellency Dr. Ahmed Al Saidi, Minister of Health (MOH) has urged both citizens and residents to continue following the preventive measures despite significant drop in coronavirus cases and deaths in the country.
“This decline is attributed to several factors, the most important of which is the commitment of citizens and residents to precautionary measures and the expanded campaign for immunization against Covid 19, in which the percentage of vaccinated people has reached high levels and is increasing daily,” Al Saidi said.
Al Saidi said laxity in adhering to preventive measures may lead to a rise in cases. “We must not forget that during the height of this pandemic, the number of inpatients in intensive care units were 538 patients. We don’t want to go back to that stage,” Al Saidi added.
