The Minister of Health in the interim government, Hamad Hassan, indicated that “the number of infections by Corona remains high and has not decreased despite the partial closure of some regions, and we must urge society in several Lebanese regions to be more committed and be more careful and cautious, especially that we are at the gates of winter and the danger of symptoms. Breathing is increasing. “
He pointed out, at the meeting of the scientific committee of the Ministry of Public Health to follow up on the evaluation of the epidemiological curve, that “the meeting of the scientific committee focused on the following six points:
– Make a recommendation from the Scientific Committee to the National Committee to combat the Corona epidemic to close the neighborhoods of some major cities, including the capital, because the focus of contagion is sometimes in the city before the infection spreads to the countryside and not the other way around, pointing to “the importance of adopting the number of infected living in the city and not those who are registered in the civil registry of each town or city”, highlighting “the need to reduce the number of injured “, Highlighting that” the issue is directly related to the performance of the citizen, which allows responding to the demands of the economic, commercial and tourism sectors, not to resort to partial or general closure “.
– The containment phase has been passed with the increase in the daily number of injured, and the Ministry of Health can no longer carry out sample analysis campaigns aimed at contacts in the first, second, third and fourth cycles, so we invite the contacts to initiate on their own initiative to adhere to mandatory home quarantine and take responsibility for themselves. Towards their community, provided that the Ministry of Public Health, in turn, continues to carry out inspection campaigns for specific samples.
– Those who have a positive PCR test and stay at home without symptoms for ten days, can then gradually return to their normal life by taking the necessary precautions. As for those who suffer from symptoms, they must wait for their disappearance for at least ten days and then remain in quarantine for an additional three days without symptoms, without the need to repeat the PCR test because this leads to the calculation of additional cases of infection and fallacies of the reality for the person’s name to be recorded. Twice leads to errors and higher numbers by two to five percent.
– The need to apply the approved protocol in the use of the drug remdesivir, because there are specific directives from the World Health Organization for its use and it entails side effects and is not suitable for all patients, in addition to its cost being exorbitant, highlighting that “there are regulations in the Ministry of Public Health that show how to disburse the amount Remdesivir received by the Ministry with the direct signature of those interested who received the drug for free from various Lebanese regions.
As for the Corona vaccine, it works on 3 levels. The first level: reserving a quantity of vaccine through Kovacs to cover twenty percent of Lebanese citizens. The second level: Pfizer is contacted to conclude an agreement with them in order to increase the coverage rate of the Lebanese with the vaccine, noting that the company confirms that the vaccine it will produce will be the first in the market, but not We can only rely on company data, but we are awaiting approval of the Pfizer vaccine by the World Health Organization. Therefore, Lebanon is at the forefront of countries that preserve the right of its citizens to benefit from any approved vaccine. The third level: contacts are made with Russian factories and some vaccine manufacturers in China for the good of the private sector in the event that companies interested in importing the vaccine are found, highlighting in this area that “the Ministry of Public Health will not allow the importing no vaccine before it is approved by the World Health Organization, but the measures that are being taken aim to reserve the right of the private sector to invest and keep up with the Ministry of Public Health in this field.
– On the recommendation of the Scientific Committee, two letters will be addressed to each Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice to follow up on the relationship with several private hospitals, especially in Mount Lebanon and the capital Beirut, which have not yet opened departments for Corona to Despite the public mobilization law announced more than seven months ago. : “European countries increase their preparedness and declare the second phase of health emergency, which forces all hospitals to reserve sixty percent of intensive care beds for Corona patients. However, some major hospitals in Lebanon and university hospitals, especially in Mount Lebanon and the capital, do not receive Corona patients, and they had to make the decision long ago despite all the facilities and agreements concluded with the Ministry of Health. Public and the Hospital Owners Association. For this reason, we want the Ministers of the Interior and Justice to discuss how to force these hospitals to open Corona departments, taking into account the pertinent legal texts, especially since it is urgent to cooperate with the objective of saving our citizens.
