“All decisions taken today were to enhance precautionary measures. Over seven weeks have passed and we have seen positive results that have been recognized across the world. Up to till this week, we still have the medical team, the capacity, and equipment to combat the virus and to treat the affected people and to quarantine them. All the decisions taken until now are for the benefit and interest of our community” *said Lt. Col. Dr. Manaf Al Qahtani-Member of the National Taskforce for Combating Coronavirus (COVID-19). *
“As for current cases, there will be a rise as we are following the triple ‘T’ – trace, test and treat. With the current studies and recommendation by the WHO, while keeping social distancing, people are obliged to wear masks and this does not pertain only to infected people but must be followed by healthy people as well” he added.
