Statistics of the Ministry of Health and Community Protection confirmed that the number of daily recovery cases finally reached more than twice the number of new cases, and that the number of deaths decreased to less than three cases per day.
Statistics revealed that about 2.5 million examinations were conducted to detect those infected with the virus, which is equivalent to examining a quarter of the country's population, which contributed to the escalation of the recovery index and the decrease in the curve of infections during the last period, and the percentage of those recovering reached about 62% of the total number of infections recorded in the country, and that Thanks to the distinguished Emirati health system and its effective management of the pandemic, the people of the country are ranked first in the Arab world and 11th globally in the list of the 100 most secure countries in the world of the "Covid-19" virus, according to the report of the American "Forbes" magazine.
Professor at the Canadian University of Western Ontario, a consultant pediatric, infectious and immunological diseases at the Heart Medical Center in Al Ain, Dr. Hossam Al-Tatari, confirmed that the UAE is one of the most successful countries in the world in facing the Corona pandemic, and that its experience in facing the global crisis will be studied in the future.
In detail, Al-Tatari said to «Emirates Today» that “the UAE has excelled in dealing with the Corona pandemic for several reasons, the most prominent of which is issued by the countries of the world in the number of tests compared to the number of population, as it conducted tests for about a quarter of the country's population, that is, more than two and a half million tests Out of a total of 10 million people living in the UAE, this helped to discover infections early, in addition to doubling the number of medical beds three times, setting up field hospitals, providing new drugs for treating the Corona virus, and leaving treatment protocols decisions to the knowledgeable doctors to determine the effectiveness of each Medicine and the possibility of use with patients ».
He added that «preparing for e-life contributed to the country's success in facing the global pandemic, as it managed to besiege the disease while not stopping the business. It also provided material and material support to those affected by the crisis during their stay in homes, which contributed to breaking the cycle of infection.
A recent report, published by the American magazine "Forbes", recently about the 100 most secure countries in the world from the Corona virus, revealed that the UAE ranks first in the Arab world and 11 globally, attributing this to the efficiency of its health system and its governmental plans in the face of The pandemic, the flexibility of its economy, and prudent methods based on reality and science, through which it tries to mitigate economic closures and freezes, without sacrificing public health and safety.
“The UAE has succeeded in achieving the equation of increasing the number of recoverers over the number of newly registered injuries, as the difference between them widens daily in the interest of recovery cases,” Al-Tatari said. It also succeeded in declining the death curve, after it rose to 10 cases per day, as it is currently less than three cases, so that the UAE is among the lowest countries in the world in the number of deaths resulting from corona disease, recording 26 deaths per million people ».
Tatar said: «We are more able to coexist with the virus, especially that it was found to continue with us, like many previous viruses that appeared and did not disappear, including swine flu and bird flu, so we must be honest with ourselves and not overly optimistic, and continue to adhere to the procedures All precautions, foremost of which are physical distance, wearing masks, keeping hands clean and washing them with soap and water, or sterilizing them. ”
He noted that it will take more time to reach the Corona Serum. But the most important thing now is to know the cause of the death of Corona patients, as we still have signs of concern.
Tatar explained that “some deaths are not known to cause. In the beginning of the pandemic, studies attributed the reason to the lack of oxygen, and to the need of patients for advanced respiratory systems. However, despite the patients being placed on modern respirators and a good amount of oxygen in the blood, deaths continued due to cardiac arrest. Specialists suggested that the cause of death was the occurrence of clots in the small lung arteries, so they used blood thinners, but the deaths did not stop. And the studies attributed the cause of death to the acidity of the blood, so the specialists worked to control the acidity of the blood. But the result has not changed. ”
He added, "The deaths of a large number of patients are still unknown, as scientists were unable to know what was happening to the patient in the last moments."
He stressed that research is still ongoing, and that arriving at a specific answer will facilitate dealing with the disease and pave the way for humanity to return to its normal life.
The second wave
Professor at the Canadian University of Western Ontario, a consultant pediatric, infectious and immunological disease at the Heart Medical Center in Al Ain, Dr. Hussam Al-Tatari, confirmed that one of the reasons for the current concern is the expectation of a second wave of the virus, indicating that no one can be astrologer in this matter, but precaution is necessary Especially since the history of viruses has waves of disease, and that happened in 1918, when the Spanish flu appeared, the first wave was medium, then the second wave came intense, and also in 1957, and earlier the plague came in more than one severe wave, so care is required, and the first steps for this Being keen to continue with physical distance and wearing masks, especially since the incidence curve for countries that have been committed to muzzles since the beginning of the disease began to decline rapidly, unlike countries that did not adhere to muzzles where the injury curve rises significantly.
Against the "pandemic"
