The head of the Parliamentary Health Commission, Assem Araji, indicated that the Minister of Health suggested during the commission meeting that the country be closed for four weeks, but the decision was not made due to the division of opinions within the commission. , while the Health Commission proposed the closure for 14 days. Araji pointed out that this government seems to be trying to delay the decision of the general shutdown as much as possible to avoid its repercussions, especially in the face of the total rejection of the economic sectors, and in this way throw its responsibility on the next government.
In a press interview, Araji said that the confusion and confusion experienced by the government to confront the “Crown” epidemic is the main reason for the failure to comply with the decisions taken, which are the responsibility of a large number of ministries, mainly the Ministry of Finance. Interior and the Ministry of Justice. Add, of course, the Ministry of Labor, Tourism, Industry and others. It recalls the decisions that were made under penalty of a fine, and none of which were implemented, to prevent meetings, put on masks, partial closures and others, without excluding from liability some of the Lebanese citizens, who in turn treat lightly the decisions and also the epidemic.
From here, and with his warning of the second wave of the “Corona” epidemic in the next two months, he said: “We will be facing a very difficult reality, and we must work to face the worst,” and considered that taking the 14-day closure decision would be an opportunity in this context. He explained: “The beginning of this stage would relieve the hospitals and the medical sector, which registered many injured with ‘Corona’, to return and start again to face the next stage, especially with the record of shortage of medical personnel as a result of the migration of hundreds of doctors and nurses.
Furthermore, this decision, Araji notes, would give private hospitals the opportunity and time to prepare the departments for the “Crown” and secure the required beds.
Faced with the opposition of the economic sectors to the closure decision, Araji saw that the amount of $ 220 million that is delivered to support the food basket, and does not know how and who will benefit from it, in addition to the smuggling that does not stop, if it is delivered to the economic sectors, workers and employees that will be affected by the closure. Publicly, we are all prepared to face the next stage and reduce the burden as much as possible.
