A request to declare a state of health emergency

The image of the Corona counter has not changed with the third mandatory closure of a series of towns and towns affected by the virus, since the latter remains stable at the threshold of one thousand, with 995 cases registered yesterday, bringing the total number of infections amounts to 33,989. Perhaps what is remarkable against yesterday is the recovery of momentum among arrivals, since the latter registered 58 injuries at the same time, which is the first stage in which this number touches. This meter had raised the ire of the Ministry of Health, during the weekend, with a plane returning from Iraq registering 21 injured, which led the Ministry to lift the health alert and ask the municipalities, with the support security forces, to follow quarantine procedures for returnees.

Parallel to the high number of injured, the death count was no better, since the latter continues to rise, with the record of six victims yesterday, to rise to 526. According to medical sources, this figure comes as a “toll”, on all with the increase in cases that required admission to care. Targeted, which touches almost 30% of the number of cases that require hospitalization. In figures, the number of injured in the intensive care unit is 211 out of 639 hospitalizations. This means that the situation is not right. This is what Public Health Minister Hamad Hassan is repeatedly trying to say, and what doctors are trying to emphasize today, especially in terms of asking the Ministry of Health and the government to “go and declare a comprehensive health emergency similar to the rest of the world, “as mentioned in the statement from the Health Committee of the Assembly of Physicians. In Lebanon and the central health office in the Democratic National Assembly. Doctors base their demand on the imminent health reality of a catastrophe, due to the “exhaustion” of empty beds in government hospitals and some private hospitals that joined the confrontation.
In addition, the security forces continue their work on two lines, the first of which is to continue assigned to “guard” the affected villages, and the second is to work in line with the commitment of people on the roads and in the streets with preventive measures, especially the use of muzzles. However, the work has not yet reached the required conclusion, especially given the indifference and indifference of the citizens, which the reports of the Ministry of Public Health have shown in figures. However, these forces continue to operate at fixed and mobile checkpoints in various cities. The result of yesterday was the registration of around 200 reports of arrest in the southern region of people who did not adhere to the use of masks.
