The Corona virus in the UAE is under control ... this is a fact that is proven by the numbers and statistics, and the field situation in hospitals proves it. Without a doubt, this result did not come out of a vacuum, but rather is the product of continuous work and effort, for many work teams that made tremendous efforts, and continued to work at night. Day to fight the virus, besiege it and reduce its spread.

In conjunction with the efforts to besiege the emerging corona virus, with precautionary measures and regulatory decisions, there are other efforts made by the state, in cooperation with China, to produce a permanent vaccine against the virus, which eliminates it completely, and returns human lives to before the era of "Corona", and news about the initial measures and results The three stages of this vaccine are all happy and promising, and they call for optimism and joy, and heralds the imminent phase of eliminating this virus, and the end of this disturbing nightmare.

But until the results of the third stage of the Corona vaccine are officially announced and approved internationally, each of us must double his caution and commitment to the precautionary measures, so be complacent, give oneself a false sense of complete satisfaction, and practice life in all its details without taking into account the presence of the virus; It is a very dangerous matter, it may take us hundreds of steps back, and certainly neither of us desires nor wishes that we return to a life of fear, stone and restricted movement.

The Minister of Health and Community Protection, Abdul-Rahman Al-Owais, revealed, several days ago, that the number of injuries among citizens increased by 30%, which caused the resentment of some and the anger of some, without thinking about the reasons, and of course, Al-Owais does not mean at all to declare or imply that citizens are not obligated With the precautionary measures, he knows, and we all know, that citizens are more careful and abide by all the instructions, decisions and precautionary measures approved by the state, and I am absolutely certain that it is impossible to find a citizen walking in a public place without putting a muzzle on his face.

The problem lies in some social customs that belong to us as citizens. We cherish family gatherings, and we love weekly family gatherings, and this is undoubtedly a beautiful social behavior, and it has many positives and interconnectedness, and we would never like to dispense with this praiseworthy habit, but it is at this specific time. It turned into a very dangerous habit, if it was done without taking the necessary precautions, caution, and strict adherence to the instructions for physical distancing.

What happened was the spread of positive feelings about the receding of the virus among families, which made them exchange kisses, hugs and peace again, and this caused the virus to enter many homes and spread among families in large numbers. There is a citizen family of 26 individuals who were all infected with the virus in an emirate of the emirates of the country, and there Another family in another emirate in which 16 people were infected with the virus, and there is no doubt that this is very unfortunate.

The Minister of Health spoke from the position of his responsibility, and is fully aware of the numbers and statistics, he did not offend anyone, and did not charge anyone, but he cautioned according to indicators owned by the concerned authorities, and he only called for increased care and caution for all members of society in general, and for citizens in particular, and nothing This calls for anger, but we must protect ourselves and our families, and try as much as possible to keep the virus away from our homes and from the elderly, including fathers, mothers and grandmothers, as their safety is a priority, and we must take great care of it.
