The imaginary scenario that the UAE government spokesperson mentioned in the media briefing on "Coffed-19", the day before yesterday, about forty people infected with the virus due to a family gathering during Eid Al-Fitr, is a possibility, and its incidence is very high, and the number of injuries With the virus, it may multiply and increase, if not all of us pay attention and raise the highest levels of caution and caution.
Perhaps it is very clear that the scenario talks about "citizens" families, and there is no defect, deficiency or discrimination in this, but it is necessary and important awareness. We are the most celebrated category of this happy occasion, and we are the group most keen on family meetings, which we consider our joy these days. Happy. There is no doubt that this is a benign habit that we can be proud of and love, and we will return one day to perpetuate it, but its timing now, with the presence of the new Corona virus, is unpleasant, and consequently, its harm is more than good.
None of us wants to convey harm to others, so we must beware of these gatherings, until the reason that deprived us of them is gone!
When the media directs awareness to citizens, this does not mean that they are not committed at all, and it does not mean that they are the most numerous in the infection of the virus, it means only care for them, and pushes them to reach the highest levels of caution, and close all the gaps through which the virus can harm them, and spread among them.
It is clear that the family gathering gap is the most dangerous at this stage, and this means that it can be increased during the period of Happy Eid al-Fitr, given the nature of the occasion, which requires an increase in the dose of caution, and emphasis on following precautionary measures, which ensure that the disease is not transmitted between family members.
As usual, there are those who try to drag the topic and the idea to other regions, and there are those who try, for one reason or another, to hunt the words, and to portray the matter as a distinction between citizens and others, so it must be emphasized that the matter has nothing to do with the content of awareness, which focuses on trying Advice and guidance, and now time is never allowed to enter into controversy and quarrels and unhelpful discussions, we have a greater mission, and a higher interest is more important than everything, and anything, and the goal of the media is clear, and does not need further clarification!
The state is keen to take care of the health and safety of everyone who lives on its land, and citizens are a priority for them. However, individuals of society share responsibility, and every person is the first and last responsible for his health and the health of his family, and on him responsibility falls, if he violates some precautionary measures, And caused harm to himself and others, and the virus is dangerous and contagious, does not recognize the nationality, position or status, strikes all countries, and will strike everyone who negligently and allows him to reach his lung, and there is no escape from safety, except with the prevention and precautionary measures approved by the government, it is only the means The only one currently available to prevent the spread of the virus.
These precautionary measures based on the concept of social and physical distance, wearing a muzzle, sterilizing hands and washing them before touching the face, are not restricted to public places, but rather the duty and first to be followed even during family visits, in order to preserve who we love, and the calamity of "corona" is that it is capable of transmitting the infection from the patient Even if it does not show symptoms, this is precisely what should make us more eager to implement precautionary measures, by simply leaving the house, and whatever our destination, and the homes of families, family and friends are never an exception to these procedures!
