“The seventh day”, the World Health Organization report, will be published on the number of infections, deaths and recoveries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region from the Coruna virus to date.
It was after Dr. Amjad Al-Khouli, a consultant for epidemiology at the World Health Organization, that the numbers of HIV infections rose at the end of the eleventh week and the beginning of the twelfth since the Corona virus entered Egypt in mid-February, saying: It is difficult to judge now the rates of infection and asserting that they are in the peak stage And then stability, then decline, and difficult to predict, especially since it depends on people’s awareness of the issue of social divergence..
He added that the numbers of injuries are cumulative for the past weeks and are not a result of the moment, and we appeal to the Egyptian people to adhere to the precautionary measures to reach the peak quickly and then steadfastness, since the less commitment, the longer the period of escalation in injuries and the delay in the peak stage .
On precautionary measures and reducing them in the recent times and global health warnings to the world, Al-Khouli said: We have issued a guide for countries that help in taking their decisions regarding reducing or increasing precautionary measures at certain times, and the whole matter depends on several factors, the first of which is that the disease is under control and this relates to the epidemiological curve of each A country with regard to the rate of incidence of injuries and the ability of each country to isolate the injured and its ability to monitor and thus reduce injuries and deaths, as well as in the event of work return, adherence to strict instructions of disinfection, hand-washing and spacing in the workplace and taking into account a thousand Hundreds of the most vulnerable and the most susceptible to infection are those with chronic diseases, pointing out that the most important factor in this guide is societal awareness that helps each country to take the appropriate decision, as easing measures early without societal awareness leads to sudden deterioration.
Al-Khouli continued by saying: We expect in the World Health Organization a second wave of the virus, and therefore reducing precautionary measures without societal awareness may lead to significant deterioration and the occurrence of a second wave more difficult and severe.
Al-Khouli continued: In relation to Egypt, the injuries are different factors, as for the late arrival of cases, this is a question that needs a study from the Ministry of Health? Is this due to a lack of societal awareness, indicating that most of the injuries and Egypt’s figures reveal only the top of the mountain and not the rest of its parts and thus difficult to compare with other countries and all countries Strives to reach the largest number of injured.
