Al Owais: We should take care to protect our families, and realize that these visits may pose a great danger to them, especially the elderly and those with chronic diseases.
Al Owais: The recent positive indicators do not mean that the challenge is over, and by virtue of our experience with this disease and our knowledge of the experiences of other countries, i.e. negligence in the procedures, even if it is in a small percentage that has significant consequences that are difficult to contain.
