Hassan: Experience has proven the Health Ministry’s credibility towards the private sector, epidemiological indicators are improving

NNA – Caretaker Public Health Minister, Hamad Hassan, announced Sunday that "the current epidemiological indicators point to progress in the direction of regaining control over the societal outbreak of the Corona pandemic."

Speaking in an interview with “Al-Jadid TV” Channel, Hassan said: “The two criteria that assess the epidemiological status are the rates of weekly incidence and death. The first was at the beginning of January in the 18th rank, and in February it descended to the 10th rank and has now risen to the 46th,” adding that “this is a good thing, but it remains insufficient because 220 infections are recorded out of every hundred thousand citizens, while the number must drop to less than 150.”
