The World Health Organization (WHO) has again asked Egypt to increase the number of tests that are performed to detect those infected with the emerging coronavirus (Covid-19).
“We ask Egypt to increase the number of controls, because it is one of the most important measures to limit the spread of the epidemic, and if there are positive cases that should be isolated to prevent the spread of the infection,” said Rana Al-Hajjah, director of program management at the Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean.
He added during the press conference held by the WHO regional office on the latest developments in Corona today, Tuesday, that the community should be aware of the general mobilization and preventive measures that the Egyptian community is committed to facing Corona, and increase community-wide commitment to all preventive measures, especially in public places, to prevent the spread of infection.
He clarified that the Egyptian authorities must follow up on all infected cases, especially those who must go to hospitals to obtain the necessary care or enter them in intensive care to reduce the mortality rate, while protecting the groups that have the most odds of dying, such as the elderly and people with chronic diseases that increase the risk rate with them. The virus.
The argument said that the Regional Office for Global Health provides technical support to the Cairo office, and the Ministry of Health is responsible for fighting the epidemic, and we regularly monitor the epidemiological situation of the regional office, and we also discussed with the Ministry of Health on the procedures they implement to counter Corona.
