He said: “We have to face this epidemic seriously and decisively and be prepared for all possible scenarios. Today, through the MSF Hospital in Bar Elías, we secure 20 beds for patients with Corona epidemic, 15 beds for moderate cases and 5 beds for intensive care, this means that we open today in Central Bekaa is the possibility of receiving patients to relieve pressure on the capital and allow us an additional period of time to prepare, in cooperation with MSF, a department in the Hermel Government Hospital in light of the increasing number of injuries there, and also in cooperation with MSF, a center will also be prepared quarantine at the Hermel Government Hospital.
He added: “We know that the challenges are increasing within the plan, in permanent coordination and cooperation with the Parliamentary Health Committee, Dr. Assem Araji, and his accompaniment with the Health Committee, and today there is an additional challenge since we have injured in Roumieh prison there are many security forces and a very limited number of detainees, and for this we speak quickly at night. ” With His Excellency the Minister of the Interior and Municipalities, the Minister of Defense and the Prime Minister’s State, we are working to secure two hospitals in the Bekaa and a hospital in the capital for prisoners and detainees, and we are working on a field center for according to a strict plan, and we are dealing with the high number of injuries responsibly and realistically. In return, they stand by us and are responsive and interactive, because the issue needs vigilance and reassurance to achieve the desired security. “

Repeat the test at 48 hours, because the person may be infected and recovering, or may be newly infected and his injury is increasing, if required from the laboratories, when the result is between 35 and 40, wait to announce the results and reexamine at 48 hours, and this patient is under follow-up and scrutiny. But what is required of citizens is not to rush into skepticism and waste of effort, adhere to quarantine and not always throw arguments at the laboratories and the Ministry of Health, because society has a large part of the responsibility during the next period.

It will be presented to the Ministry of Health, and is currently handed over to Doctors Without Borders, because this hospital is comparable to any hospital in Beirut, with the medical equipment and the valuable administration that it has, and the Corona section is important for the region, and those in charge of MSF know the value of the torture we face when we want to admit a patient. Infected with covid 19 in the region, the patients are distributed among Baalbek and Beirut, and we fear that infections will increase with the next autumn season and that we will not have equipped care rooms, because in case of an increase in infection is, the area will be in a critical situation. Public sterilization, social distancing and use of masks, and I wish everyone’s commitment because we are entering the school opening season and the fall semester, and with the opening of schools, we must adhere to the medical protocol that was developed in cooperation between the Ministries. of Health and Education, and trusts that the preventive instructions are applied effectively.
