Dr. Safa Al-Khawaja, Infectious Diseases Consultant and Head of Infection Control at the Ministry of Health, noted that the 33 Coronavirus (COVID-19) cases currently being treated in the Kingdom are showing positive signs of recovery.

Dr. Safa highlighted the quality of ongoing care patients receive from a specialised medical team, in line with global medical protocols.

Dr. Safa noted that citizens  and residents can help prevent the spread of infections by washing their hands thoroughly with soap, refraining from close interactions such as shaking hands, hugging or kissing, in addition to covering their mouths and noses with a tissue while sneezing or sneezing into the crook of their elbow.

Dr. Safa reminded citizens and residents who have visited Iran or other COVID-19-affected countries during February to self-isolate immediately and call 444 to schedule medical examination dates, emphasising the need to follow established health guidelines intended to mitigate the spread of the condition.
