Those who have been identified as close contacts of confirmed cases have already been notified by the Ministry of Health.

As a precautionary measure, people who were in those places during the specified hours should monitor their health closely for 14 days from the date of their visit, the Ministry of Health said.

“They should see a doctor immediately if they develop symptoms of acute respiratory infection (such as cough, sore throat and runny nose), as well as fever and loss of taste or smell, and inform the doctor of their history of exposure,” he added. .

The ministry said there is no need for people to avoid places that have been frequented by COVID-19 cases and that the National Environment Agency will hire the management of affected facilities to provide guidance on cleaning and disinfection.
