Speaking exclusively to The Arabian Stories, a senior ROP official has said one person from the family can do shopping while people can also attend hospitals in case of emergency. “We request one person from a family to do the shopping. If you also want to attend hospitals in case of emergency that is allowed too. These restrictions will not affect such activities. The aim is to reduce movement of people thereby reducing the chance of coronavirus from spreading,” ROP official informed.
Oman on Wednesday reported 210 coronavirus cases.
