The assistant professor at the College of Medicine at Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences has warned against spreading rumors about the Corona virus, stressing that these behaviors are more dangerous to society than the virus itself.
She pointed out that research shows that the elderly group is the most vulnerable group, and advised to avoid family visits at present to protect this group.
"The elderly are the blessing in the home and the most precious to all of us, and our duty is to protect them, so communication with them should be limited, taking care to follow instructions and instructions, the most important of which is" washing the hand and leaving the required distance to preserve their health. "
Dr. Hanan stressed that the government has fulfilled its duty to the fullest, demanding that the community must play its role as well to limit the spread of the virus.
She told "Emirates Today" that at this stage, unwarranted anxiety or panic should not be raised, at the same time not underestimating the matter, but everyone should bear responsibility towards society and others.
She stated that health authorities have set clear guidelines and directions for everyone to abide by, to protect the psyche, family and society, pointing out that usually under such conditions rumors spread, which cause unnecessary panic in society, which causes anxiety in society that scares people more than the virus spreads.
"Today, the role of all members of society is not only to protect ourselves from the virus, but to address the rumors that are transmitted between members of society and are encouraged by negative practices.
