No one is against the decisions issued by government agencies to confront the “Covid-19” virus, all segments of society since the beginning of the spread of the virus have proven their commitment and follow the preventive and precautionary measures at very high rates. And follow the decisions to the letter, without objection, resentment or grumbling.

They did this not under duress or compulsion, or out of fear of fines and punishment, but rather because their degree of confidence in the UAE government is very high, and they are convinced and aware that all the steps that the state has implemented, throughout the spread of the virus, are in the first and last place aimed at protecting them, and preserving Their health and their presence from any harm that may threaten their lives.

Therefore, parents and guardians did not object to the recent decision, which obliges them to conduct “Corona” examinations for their students before they go to schools. Rather, they flocked, as of Friday, to all examination centers, to conduct the required examination, but the real problem they faced is the lack of The readiness of the rest of the parties for this step, which caused confusion and abnormal crowds, and caused disturbance and exhaustion for children, mothers, young and old, especially since the situation occurred in the month of August, and at the height of the hot summer days, which makes us evoke many signs of exclamation and wonder about this decision on the one hand. Studying all its pros and cons before taking it. Is it reasonable that the crowding scene will be absent from the imagination of its adopters, especially since the period of notifying parents of this was not sufficient in a reasonable period of time?!

Shocking pictures, heart-breaking videos, about putting children and young people and their families in long queues outside the examination headquarters, and other shocking scenes about the suffocating crowds inside the examination headquarters, to the point where the simplest instructions and warnings to prevent the “Corona” virus were lost, those tips he repeats and focuses on The media two years ago, which urged physical distancing, as it was never possible to maintain safe distances with the families and their children in the hundreds, which raises important questions about the effectiveness of the examination, with the presence of these huge numbers of people!

No one is against the decision, and we all support all government measures to confront the “Corona” virus, and we respect, appreciate and appreciate the efforts made, but we all affirm that it could have been better than it was, and our state returned us to order, accuracy, creativity and innovation in implementing all decisions, facilitating people, and organizing in Such times are much more important than implementation. Will we witness in the coming period adjustments that will be merciful to these young people and kind to their families?

I think this is never impossible.
