MOH: Tawakkalna and Strict Precautionary Measures Reduced the Spread of COVID-19 in Medina by Over 86%

Dr. Al-Abdulaali explained that combating the spread of COVID-19 in Medina through digital applications and artificial intelligence proved to be one of the most successful approaches both regionally and globally. As it has effectively contributed, in less than two months, to limiting factors that caused accelerated spread within the region.

He stated that Medina region was going through a critical period in which the number of infected cases was significantly increasing. This came as a result of some public negligence in observing the preventive measures and precautions; particularly, the lack of adherence to quarantine in addition to social gatherings. This has led to an increase in the number of daily cases at alarming rates, warranting the implementation of Tawakkalna as a decisive qualitative choice in the current confrontation stage.

He added that as a result of the increase in cases in Medina last November, MOH, with the support of SDAIA, assessed the areas with the highest number of active cases, aiming to control and limit transmission of the virus. This is by emphasizing preventive measures and precautions and the relevant authorities to call on all Medina residents to confirm their health conditions and requiring individuals to register
