Today, “the number is the one that decides everything,” says sources from the Ministry of Health. “Lewin Rayehin?” The answer to this question depends on the numbers that will result from the examinations carried out by the Ministry of Health, which yesterday touched the 2000 borders distributed between Baakline (Al-Shouf), Al-Babliya and Jazzin (the south). In the past four days, the numbers have not been reassuring. More precisely, “it was shocking,” this is what the Minister of Public Health, Hamad Hassan, said during his inspection visit to the Deir al-Qamar government hospital yesterday, warning of the “danger of a community epidemic.” However, one thing can eliminate this danger: “prevention and compromise.” These two factors are essential and articulated in the course of the virus. As in the first days of injury, people remain the norm. And your degree of commitment to stone in the home and prevention determines: be it containment or the start of the second wave.
In detail, the Corona counter yesterday registered 9 injuries, 6 of which were for residents and three for foreigners. But, it won’t be the last of the issues, especially since many tests are done daily and the results have yet to be released. On the one hand. On the other hand, the arrival of the third batch of evacuation planes begins today, which can transport some 19,000 expatriates. A figure that foreshadows the expected scenario, especially since Lebanon has not yet learned the repercussions of the return of the second batch that returned the momentum to the Corona counter. It is assumed that the state will recover, with the third batch, the same procedures that it had previously adopted, especially in terms of “division”, that is, distributing cases that prove to be infected in hospitals and sending those with negative results to home quarantine. However, what is presumed may fall if the “flank” of the returning aircraft is taken into account. Experience has shown that the home stone was not a viable solution for containment, but instead, the last thing it did was to remove the safety feature of many places that until recently were outside the affected circle. Many did not adhere to the stone. This may be their responsibility, but the greatest responsibility lies with the state, which is still following the impact of measures that no longer affect the “people’s conscience.” Therefore, it is the first in the state to amend its procedures regarding dealing with 19,000 returnees from endemic countries. Since the “summary” of the previous two experiences was not encouraging, especially in terms of relying on the conscience of returnees, the country is supposed to follow in the footsteps of other countries, including Palestine, who worked on the stone of the returnees, even at their expense. In this context, sources indicate that this issue has been raised at the cabinet table, and has taken a place in the discussion, without a final decision. During one of the sessions, “the Minister of Economy and Trade, Raoul Naama, suggested that the state block returnees, provided that military camps are used for this purpose, which was supported by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Zina Akar , indicating the ministry’s willingness to help. ” And United Nations organizations have also shown their willingness to help.
However, so far there is no decision, while Lebanon is preparing to face the next challenge, which has two experiences that were not exceptional in terms of work to contain the disease, at least. Is the country following in the footsteps of what other countries have done, especially since it is not too late? This is what Hassan pointed out when he emphasized that “we are not threatened with our health security until now, as long as we control the infection.” The field is open to control, but to the extent that the state takes measures that go beyond the closure of the country for a few days.
It is not possible to rely solely on people’s “conscience” to comply with quarantine procedures
Before starting the challenge today, the situation is still relatively stable, as the number of injuries recorded yesterday among residents were related to contacts, and the past few days did not record any unknown sources of injuries. The Ministry of Health depends on this. On the other hand, the added reliability is reducing the affected numbers to “people who adhere to quarantine procedures,” according to Hassan. Because without that, the path is clear “towards propagation”, as stated by the “Assembly of Physicians”, which met yesterday at the invitation of the Medical Association. Although they held citizens responsible for the laxity in the measures imposed, they did not excuse the state, which authorized “a gradual decrease in quarantine before completely overcoming the danger in the first stage.” The union recalled the general recommendations, but called for action to wait and see in some sectors, a review of the decision to open complexes and large commercial stores, restaurants and places of worship, and delay the opening of schools, universities and kindergartens (. ..). And he warned that “if the epidemic returns in large quantities in a short period of time, we will not be able to face it.” This was also warned by the head of the Parliamentary Health Committee, Assem Araji, calling for stricter measures, because “the closure decision made by the state does not limit the spread of the virus.” The latter regretted what “some of the returnees from abroad have done in terms of their contribution to spread the virus and increase the number of cases,” noting that “they have the right to return, but the Lebanese people have the right to preserve their safety. “
Yesterday’s banner was tweeted on Twitter to the Prime Minister’s adviser for health affairs, Petra Khoury, in which she indicated that Lebanon “exceeded number 2” in reproducing the virus. He noted that “before the beginning of easing the restrictions of general mobilization, the number of reproduction or reproduction of the virus, symbolized by the letter” R “for the word Reproduction, was less than 0.5, but today it exceeds 2”, warning that “this estimated increase of 1.5 Point indicates that the Corona virus is spreading rapidly in Lebanon.”
