A valid and logical question, repeated by many, and posed by His Excellency Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan, Deputy Chief of Police and Public Security in Dubai, during a virtual Ramadan session titled: "Corona ... between today and tomorrow", which is: Why are the procedures for the reopening of economic activities reduced? And restriction of movement, despite the high number of injuries?
The Director General of the Dubai Health Authority, His Excellency Hamid Al Qatami, answered that “conducting this huge number of laboratory tests for Corona virus (Covid 19) in the country that comes to the forefront of the global ranking, and the number in Dubai reaching 430 thousand tests so far, gives a strong indication of Proactive measures that must be taken, "he added, adding that" all measures taken in this framework are evaluated periodically, and on the basis of evaluation, it determines whether it is possible to move forward in easing restrictions, or taking other decisions. "
According to the specialists and many doctors, the increase in the number of injured people in the Emirates is normal, in light of the increase in the tests carried out by the competent authorities, as a proactive measure to discover the infected cases, and consequently, the more pre-exams increase, the more cases are discovered, and in return, containment also increases The virus, because early detection of infected people, effectively contributes to reducing the risk of spreading the disease!
Interlocking and interlocking process, and the password and the main key, and the indicator of success or risk, remain in only one corner, in light of which decisions are made, strategies are adopted, the alarm rises to the top, the restriction measures increase, or the risk indicator decreases, so the opening of activities increases, and the return Life gradually, this indicator that does not deviate from the eyes of officials, is the number of cases that need excellent care or artificial respirators. If this number increases, the pressure on the medical sector increases, the risk rises, and the opposite is completely true.
Looking at this indicator, Hamid Al-Qatami emphasized that “the number that needs excellent care, and artificial respiration devices, is very small, compared to the state’s health facilities and ready facilities, and that most of the affected cases need only isolation, and we have a team on top A level that evaluates, and our health system is highly capable, and operates according to high controls. ”
Therefore, I repeat and repeat what I mentioned in previous articles, that the government’s responsibility lies in taking precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus, based on the information and indicators it possesses, and among these measures is determining the hours of the national sterilization program, restricting movement, or reopening activities, and setting special conditions By opening these activities, our responsibility as individuals in this society is to fully comply with all laws and government decisions, and to take strict precautions to protect ourselves and our families from the Coronavirus virus!
We must take great care, and in all cases, in the case of easing or increasing the restriction of movement, to adhere to the social and physical divergence, and to move away from family gatherings, and we preserve the elderly, we are responsible for them, because by this we maintain balance, and reduce pressure on the medical system Because increasing pressure on him is the real catastrophe that we never want to reach!
